Abstract: This study aimed to verify the influence of silicon application in hydroponics lettuce cv Lucy Brown, on post-harvest under refrigeration. In hydroponic production silicon was used in the doses of 0, 28, 56 and 84 mg L -1 of potassium silicate. Lettuces were harvested early in the morning and immediately transported to UNESP, campus of Jaboticabal. Upon being received at the laboratory the plants were standardized in size and appearance, removing the three older leaves. The plants were placed in polystyrene tr… Show more

“…We observed the enrichment of water uptake by SiNPs in the treated flowers resulted in good flower turgidity and ornamental appearance compared to control flowers. These results could be ascribed to the role of Si in reducing the transpiration rate and water loss and then maintaining the adequate water relations, which reflected on plant turgidity or postharvest quality (Galati et al 2015).…”
