Effect of Si on uptake and translocation of Mn. (A, B) Mn content of WT and lsi1 mutant at both low and high Mn supply. (C) Root-to-shoot translocation of Mn in WT and lsi1 mutant at both low and high Mn supply. Seedlings (18-d-old) of lsi1 mutant and its wild type (WT, cv. Oochikara) were cultured in a nutrient solution containing 0.5 (low) and 200 (high) μM Mn without or with 1mM silicic acid for 2 weeks. Data represent the mean ± SD (n=3). Different letters indicate a significant difference (P<0.05) using Duncan’s test.
