Horsetail and the commelinoid monocot rice are emblematic examples of highly silicifying plants (accumulating up to 10% silica by dry weight), while tomato is an excluder [2]. The association of biogenic silica with plant cell walls provides mechanical defence against pathogens [3] and is a deterrent against phytophagous insects [4].
