By heterologously expressing highly active silicon transporter proteins from plants, the project enhances tobacco's ability to enrich silicon in soil/water and deposit it in cell walls. Utilizing the physical reinforcement, antioxidant, and osmotic stress resistance properties of silicon, the project aims to achieve multi-dimensional enhancement of crop resistance to drought, salt, high temperatures, and diseases.
