The effect of silicon supplementation and drought stress on the deposition of callose and chemical components in the cell walls of the Brassica napus roots
Silicon supplementation in oilseed rape roots induced significant changes in cell wall composition, including increased callose deposition and altered pectins and arabinogalactan proteins distribution. These modifications, along with the formation of fibres in the root cortex, likely contribute to enhanced cell wall strength providing a physical barrier against water loss and mechanical stress, as a probable defence mechanism induced during drought stress.
