Sodium silicate

Sodium silicate (50 mM; 3 mins) promotes wound healing in wounded 'Atlantic' potato tubers, reducing weight loss by 32% and disease index by 28% relative to controls after 14 days of healing^[1].
Sodium silicate (50 mM; 3 mins) promotes the deposition of suberin polyphenolic and lignin in wounded 'Atlantic' potato tubers, increasing their respective cell layer thicknesses by 46% and 34% relative to controls after 7 days of healing^[1].
Sodium silicate (50 mM; 3 mins) induces the expression levels and enzyme activity of PAL, 4CL, and CAD^[1].
Sodium silicate (50 mM; 3 min immersion) promotes the expression of StPOD and StNOX and the accumulation of ROS species in wounded 'Atlantic' potato tubers, with day 7 H₂O₂ and O₂⁻ levels being 45% and 5% to controls^[1].
Sodium silicate (50 mM; 3 min immersion) promotes the production of antimicrobial compounds in wounded 'Atlantic' potato tubers, increasing total phenolics by 25% and flavonoids by 18% relative to controls after 7 days of healing^[1].
