Abstract: Silicon is one of the important nutrients that promote the growth and development of rice. It can not only promote rice growth and development, but also improve the photosynthetic efficiency, yield and quality of rice, and enhance the resistance to disease, pest and stress of rice. The sources of silicon mutants, types of silicon mutants, accumulation and distribution of silicon in rice, physiological and molecular mechanisms of silicon accumulation mutants, and the role of rice high silicon accumulation mutants were comprehensively analyzed, in order to provide a theoretical basis for future research on silicon mutants in rice.

Key words: rice(Oryza sativa L.), silicon, mutants, physiology, molecular mechanism
