Table 4.

Effect of Si supply on the Fe content in different cucumber tissues

Treatment	Fe content (μg per plant)
	Root		Stem	Leaves
	Apoplast	Symplast
–Si	103 ± 11^a	14 ± 2^a	28 ± 3^a	141 ± 16^a
+Si	92 ± 16^a	17 ± 3^a	31 ± 5^a	150 ± 13^a

Seven-day-old Fe-deprived plants were supplied with 10 μm Fe for 3 d and then transferred to Fe-free nutrient solution with or without supply of 1·5 mm Si(OH)₄ for 11 d.

Data shown are means ± s.d. (n = 4).

Significant differences (P < 0·05) between treatments are indicated by different letters.
