The aim of the study was to summarize knowledge about the mechanisms underlying the interaction between silicon and cadmium. This review first discusses silicon compounds in plant physiology, then examines mechanisms of silicon\u2013cadmium interaction, including antioxidant defense, metal chelation, nutrient transport, molecular responses, subcellular changes, and future directions. Recent studies show that various forms of Si, such as conventional Si and Si-nanoparticles (Si NPs), can have various effects on the ability of a plant to absorb and utilize Si for protection. Silicon, taken up mainly as soluble orthosilicic acid (H4SiO4) and Si NPs, can be absorbed by plants and subsequently deposited predominantly in cell walls. It has been found that Si and Si NPs increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, including CAT, SOD, and POD, in plants under cadmium (Cd) stress. Furthermore, Si reduces the expression of Cd transport-related genes, including OsNRAMP5 and OsHMA2 in rice. It has also been shown that supplementation with Si and Si NPs in plants under Cd stress reduces the Cd content in their tissues and changes the uptake of elements necessary for the proper functioning of the plant organism. Furthermore, Si supplementation increases the content of pectins, which are involved in the binding and neutralization of Cd. The following overview highlights the importance of both Si and SiNPs in neutralizing the harmful effects of Cd on the environment and agriculture.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants14182911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,19]],"date-time":"2025-09-19T10:08:58Z","timestamp":1758276538000},"page":"2911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Role of Silicon Compounds in Plant Responses to Cadmium Stress: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3063-2750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Komorowska-Trepner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Physiology, Genetics and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3649-4669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"G\u0142owacka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Physiology, Genetics and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1080\/02772248.2017.1413652","article-title":"What Are Heavy Metals?
