Characterizing the causes and consequences of calcium oxalate crystal presence in Vitis riparia
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Calcium oxalate biomineralization in plants is phylogenetically widespread and morphologically diverse, but the function of these inorganic crystals is an area of active debate. The variety of environmental conditions that produce the crystals, as well as the inconsistent evidence that they provide antiherbivore defense across plant ...
