| Résumé: | Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. It has been described in rice that Si only plays a physical barrier that does not allow Fe to enter cell apoplast, causing Fe deficiency responses even under Fe sufficiency growth conditions. Most of the conclusions were attained at acidic pH, but rice is also grown at calcareous conditions, which especially induce Fe deficiency in the plants. In this study, we assay the effect of Si in rice suffering both Fe deficiency and sufficiency in hydroponics at two pHs (5.5 and 7.5). Plant biometric parameters, ROS concentration, enzymatic activities, and total phenolic compounds, as well as ploidy levels, have been determined. In general, both pHs promoted similar rice responses under Fe sufficiency and deficiency status, but at pH 7.5, stress was favored. Flow cytometry studies revealed that Fe deficiency increased the percentage of cells in higher ploidy levels. Moreover, under this Fe status, Si addition enhanced this effect. This increase contributed to maintaining chloroplast structure which may have preserved antioxidant activities, and fortified cell walls, diminishing Fe uptake. The first is considered a beneficial effect as plants presented acceptable SPAD values, well chloroplast structure, and qualitatively high fluorescence observed by confocal microscopy, even under Fe deficiency. But contributes to intensify the Fe shortage, by decreasing apoplast Fe pools. In summary, Si addition to rice plants may not only behave as an apoplastic barrier but may also protect plant chloroplast and alter the plant endoreplication cycle, giving a memory effect to cope with present and future stresses |
