AB  - Although the beneficial role of silicon (Si) in alleviation of abiotic stress is well established, little is known of the relevance of Si nutrition under microelement deficiency. The aim of our work was to investigate the physiological role of Si in relation to micronutrient (Fe, Zn and Mn) deficiencies in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L). Cucumber (cv. Semkross) plants were grown hydroponically in a complete nutrient solution (control) and in nutrient solutions free from Fe, Zn or Mn, with or without Si supply. Plant tissue concentrations of microelements, organic acids and phenolics were measured. Si supply effectively mitigated the symptoms of Fe deficiency, but only in part, the symptoms of Zn- or Mn deficiency. Leaf Fe concentration significantly increased in plants deprived of Fe but treated with Si, whereas the concentrations of other microelements were not affected by Si supply. The effects of Si supply in increasing accumulation of both organic acids and phenolic compounds in cucumber tissues were exclusively related to Fe nutrition. Enhancement of Fe distribution towards apical shoot parts, along with the tissue accumulation of Fe-mobilizing compounds such as citrate (in leaves and roots) or cathechin (in roots) appears to be the major alleviating effect of Si. Si nutrition, however, was without effect on the mobility and tissue distribution of either Zn or Mn.
