Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐
