Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) influence silicon (Si) uptake by plants, but the mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the mechanisms of AMF-mediated Si uptake by rice, a model Si-accumulating plant, and explored the tripartite interactions among AMF, Si, and phosphorus (P). AMF inoculation increased shoot Si content by 97% when supplied with silicic acid and by 29% with calcium silicate and upregulated expression of Si transporters
