leaf_Si_per_dry_mass

Explore the data for this trait in the portal

• Label: Leaf silicon (Si) content per unit leaf dry mass
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0000050
• Type: numeric
• Definition: The ratio [PATO:0001470] of the mass [PATO:0000125] of silicon [CHEBI:27573] in a leaf [PO:0025034] to leaf dry mass [TO:0001014].;The ratio of the mass of silicon in a leaf to leaf dry mass.
• Additional comments: Includes measurements on leaf analogs, including cladodes and phylloclades. Leaf silicon (Si) must not be confused with leaf silica (SiO2). In plants, Si is mostly found as hydrated amorphous silica (SiO2 , nH2O).
• units: mg/g
• allowable range: 0.01 - 200 mg/g
