“…2). Deployment of Si, in terms of the pattern and density of silica deposition in the epidermis as close silica chains or rod‐shaped deposits that restrict larval feeding, may be partly responsible for resistance of rice (Hanifa et al ., 1974), wheat (Miller et al ., 1960) and sorghum (Blum, 1968) varieties to insect pests. Miller et al .…”

“…Varietal differences in silica content are also associated with plant resistance to pests in maize (Sharma & Chatterji, 1972; Rojanaridpiched et al ., 1984), sorghum (Lanning & Linko, 1961; Blum, 1968; Chavan et al ., 1990) and wheat (Miller et al ., 1960). In all three crops, Si applications (in various forms depending on the crop) reduced infestations or had significant negative effects on several life‐history traits of their respective pests (Marschner, 1986; Sétamou et al ., 1993; Carvalho et al ., 1999).…”

“…Sorghum resistance to central shoot fly Atherigona indica infuscata Malloch (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) did depend upon the early formation of irregularly shaped silica deposits in the epidermis of the leaf sheath (Ponnaiya, 1951). Miller et al (1960) found that the level of resistance to the Hessian fly Phytophaga destructor Say (Diptera: Aphelinidae) depends mainly on the distribution of silica bodies in leaf sheaths of wheat and oat cultivars. In susceptible cultivars, larvae of P. destructor can fed in spaces between rows with rod-shaped masses, however, in resistant ones, dense and grainy shapes ranging from round to oblong did not provide suitable spaces for P. destructor feeding (Miller et al, 1960).…”

“…Miller et al (1960) demonstraram que as bainhas das folhas de certas cultivares de trigo, assim como de aveia, que são resistentes a Phytophaga destructor (Say), exibiram uma distribuição mais completa de depósitos de silício em sua superfície do que as cultivares suscetíveis. Estes autores propuseram que a disposição do silício em plantas suscetíveis pode permitir que as larvas de P. destructor se alimentem entre as fileiras de Si.…”
