Abstract：Silicon plays an important role in plant growth,development,and stress resistance,and it is regarded as a beneficial element.While current researches on low-absorption fruit and vegetable varieties remain relatively limited.This review systematically summarized recent research progress on silicon in improving the development,nutritional quality,flavor characteristics,stress resistance,and shelf life of fruits and vegetables.It identified several problems in current research,such as an unclear mechanism of action,a lack of systematic agronomic schemes,and an urgent need to strengthen the research and development of new silicon source materials.Future research directions were proposed,including in-depth exploration of molecular mechanisms,establishment of customized application strategies and evaluation systems,and assessment of the long-term ecological effects of exogenous silicon,to provide a reference for expanding both mechanistic research and practical applications of silicon in the field of fruit and vegetable production.
