AB  - The beneficial effects of silicon (Si) have been shown on plants using reduction-based strategy for iron (Fe) acquisition. Here we investigated the influence of Si on Fe deficiency stress alleviation in barley (Hordeum vulgare), a crop plant which uses the chelation-based strategy for Fe acquisition. Analyses of chlorophyll content, ROS accumulation, antioxidative status, concentrations of Fe and other micronutrients, along with the expression of Strategy II genes were studied in response to Si supply. Si successfully ameliorated Fe deficiency in barley, diminishing chlorophyll and biomass loss, and improving the activity of antioxidative enzymes, resulting in lowered reactive oxidative species accumulation in the youngest leaves. Alleviation of Fe deficiency stress correlated well with the Si-induced increase of Fe content in the youngest leaves, while it was decreased in root. Moreover, Si nutrition lowered accumulation of other micronutrients in the youngest leaves of Fe deprived plants, by retaining them in the root. On the transcriptional level, Si led to an expedient increase in the expression of genes involved in Strategy II Fe acquisition in roots at the early stage of Fe deficiency stress, while decreasing their expression in a prolonged stress response. Expression of Strategy II genes was remarkably upregulated in the leaves of Si supplied plants. This study broadens the perspective of mechanisms of Si action, providing evidence for ameliorative effects of Si on Strategy II plants, including its influence on accumulation and distribution of microelements, as well as on the expression of the Strategy II genes.

AB  - The beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on various abiotic and biotic stresses in plants are well established; however, molecular
mechanisms are not completely understood. An ameliorative effect of Si on iron (Fe) deficiency stress has only been shown
on plants which use the reduction-based strategy (Strategy I) for Fe acquisition. The aim of our study was to investigate
influence of Si on Fe deficiency stress alleviation in a cereal plant which uses the chelation-based strategy (Strategy II) for
Fe acquisition, and barley was chosen as a representative.
Si successfully ameliorated Fe deficiency in barley, attenuating chlorosis and biomass loss of the youngest leaves, as well
as ROS accumulation, accompanied with the recovered activities of antioxidative enzymes, ascorbate peroxidase and
catalase. Si increased Fe content in the youngest leaves of Fe deprived plants, as well as Fe concentration in the watersoluble
(w-s) fraction. On the other hand, w-s concentration and total content of optimally supplied microelements, Mn and
Zn, were decreased in Si supplied plants. The expression of Strategy II genes was modulated under the influence of Si. An
expeditious increase in the gene expression was detected in Fe deficient roots. Moreover, a dramatic Si-promoted
upregulation of some of the investigated genes was detected in leaves.
Fe deficiency in plants due to low Fe availability in soils has a considerable impact on both yield and nutritional value of
crops. New findings presented in our study may support development of strategies to overcome this substantial agricultural
problem.
