Role of phytolith occluded carbon of cereales plants for climate change mitigation [PDF]
Journal of Water and Land DevelopmentPhytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) is highly stable, and constitutes an important source of long-term C storage in agrosystems. This stored carbon is resistant to the processes of oxidation of carbon compounds. In our research phytolith content in barley

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated oviposition site selection and hatchling feeding performance in two sympatric swallowtail butterflies, Papilio xuthus and Papilio memnon (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), that utilize Citrus trees as host plants. Our study suggests that each species has unique relationships between maternal oviposition preferences and hatchling feeding ...

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Silicon‐mediated resistance in wheat reaches a defensive plateau; accumulating silicon beyond 2mM provides no additional benefit for suppressing insect herbivore relative growth rates. Silicon supplementation significantly increases wheat biomass and effectively ameliorates plant mass losses caused by Helicoverpa armigera herbivory. Lower mandible wear

South African Journal of Botany, 2011 AbstractStudy of phytoliths of pteridophytes is an emerging area of research. Literature on this aspect is limited but increasing. Some recent findings have shown that phytoliths may have systematic and phylogenetic utility in pteridophytes. Phytoliths are functionally significant for the development and survival of pteridophytes. Experiments with some

When biology meets materials science – Interdisciplinary applications of electron microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Research at the interface between biology and materials science creates challenges for electron microscopists. Everything from the sample preparation to the choice of imaging and analytical techniques and the interpretation of the resulting data refuses to sit comfortably within the domain of one discipline or the other.

Phytolith Formation in Plants: From Soil to Cell
Plants, 2019 Silica is deposited extra- and intracellularly in plants in solid form, as phytoliths. Phytoliths have emerged as accepted taxonomic tools and proxies for reconstructing ancient flora, agricultural economies, environment, and climate.

Potential of Grasses in Phytolith Production in Soils Contaminated with Cadmium
Plants, 2020 Cadmium (Cd) is a very toxic heavy metal occurring in places with anthropogenic activities, making it one of the most important environmental pollutants. Phytoremediation plants are used for recovery of metal-contaminated soils by their ability to absorb
