To date the predominant scientific literature has concentrated on silicon uptake in the cereals and grasses. Other plants of commercial interest that are accumulators of silicon include: arrowroot, avocado, banana, pineapple, squash, bean, sunflower, and cucumber.

As the dissemination of information about silicon and its role in agriculture continues, one would suspect that additional plant types will be found to accumulate silicon and thus benefit from its uptake.
