Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is known to accumulate high amount of silicon (Si) on its tissues with helps to decrease the intensity of many economically important diseases. Among these diseases, brown spot, caused by the fungus Bipolaris oryzae, is the most devasting because negatively affects yield and grain quality. This study aimed to evaluate the importance of the active Si uptake in rice on the control of brown spot. Some components of host resistance as well as physiological and biochemical variables were evaluated on plants from cultivar Oochikara and its respective mutant lsi1 (low silicon 1; deficient in the active Si uptake). Plants were grown in hydroponic culture amended with 0 or 2 mmol Si L-1 and inoculated or not with B. oryzae. The components of host resistance evaluated were: incubation period (IP), relative infection efficiency (RIE), final disease severity (FDS), area under brown spot progress curve (AUBSPC), final lesion size (FLS), rate of lesion expansion (r) and area under lesion expansion progress curve (AULEPC). Si content in rice tissues was also determined. The physiological and biochemical variables studied were: concentration of malonic aldehyde (MA), electrolyte leackage (EL), concentration of total soluble phenolics (TSP) and derivatives of lignin-thioglicolic acid (DLTGA) as well as the activity of chitinases (CHI), peroxidases (POX) and poliphenoloxidases (POL). Si content on tissues of plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 supplied with this element increased, respectively, by 381 and 263%. Plants from cultivar Oochikara had 112% more Si than plants from mutant lsi1. The IP of brown spot on leaves of plants from cultivar Oochikara increased about 6 h in the presence of Si and the RIE, FS, AUBSPC, FLS, r and AULEPC were significantly reduced, respectively, in 65, 70, 75, 33, 36 and 35%. In the presence of Si, the IP increased 3 h on plants from mutant lsi1, but the RIE, FS, AUBSPC, FLS, r and AULEPC were only reduced, respectively, in 40, 46, 50, 12, 21 and 12%. The correlation between Si content on tissues and IP was significantly positive, but it was negatively correlated with RIE, FS, AUBSPC, FLS, r and AALEPC. Single degree of freedom contrasts were performed to verify if there was significative difference between plants from cultivar Oochika a and from mutant lsi1 supplied or not with Si. Plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 supplied with Si were significantly different from plants not supplied with this element for all components of resistance evaluated. This indicates that the availability of Si to plants was detrimental for increase their resistance to brown spot. Comparisons between plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 not supplied with Si showed that there was no difference for the components of resistance studied. However, the comparison between plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 supplied with Si indicated that there was difference for the components of resistance evaluated. This clearly indicates that a less Si content in tissues of plants from mutant lsi dramatically affected its basal resistance to brown spot. Biochemical and physiological changes associated with an increase in rice resistance, mainly for plants from cultivar Oochikara supplied with Si, to brown spot occurred through a less concentration of MA and EL besides an increase in the concentration of TSP and on the activity of CHI and POX. The lower concentration of MA and EL suggests, even though indirectly, a less cellular damage caused by the fungus during the infection course. The participation of POL in rice resistance to brown spot, regardless of the presence of Si, was not evident. The concentration of DLATG was higher on plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 not supplied with Si, probably due to the lower number of lesions formed on leaves of these plants. In general, plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 supplied with Si showed a high assimilation of CO2 upon inoculation with B. oryzae. Interestingly, the assimilation of CO2 from non-inoculated plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 supplied with Si was also great. The concentration of total chlorofil and carotenoids on non- inoculated plants from cultivar Oochikara and from mutant lsi1 was not affected by Si. However, when plants supplied with Si were inoculated, the concentration of total chlorofil and carotenoids was higher. Contrary to plants from cultivar Oochikara, Si had a less impact in affect some components of resistance and the physiological and biochemical variables on plants from the mutant lsi1. In conclusion, the results from this study underline the importance of the active Si uptake system in rice for an increased in resistance to brown spot as well as for a better physiological response of plants to this biotic type of stress.
