The transformation of phytolith morphology as the result of their exposure to high temperature
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2012AbstractPhytoliths are an important component for interpreting the ancient botanical record. However, phytoliths can be altered through heating, either as the result of such activities as firing ceramics, clay molds use for casting metal or in hearths.

Assessing Bioturbation in Archaeological Sediments using Soil Morphology and Phytolith Analysis
Journal of Archaeological Science, 1999Abstract Analysis of ditch infill at an early modern burial complex (dating from the 16th century ad) in upland northwestern Thailand was undertaken to assess the role of bioturbation in interpreting palaeolandscapes. Evidence for bioturbation and water percolation is contrasted with AMS radiocarbon determinations and a phytolith sequence. While more

Phytolith morphology research on wild and domesticated rice species in East Asia
Quaternary International, 2013Abstract Systematical descriptions of phytoliths from rice species in East Asia are scarce. In order to investigate the relationship among diversity of phytolith morphology, taxonomy and genome, comparative research on phytolith morphology of the wild and domesticated rice species is first performed on the basis of statistics and cluster analysis ...

The analysis of wild rice cell structures, tissues, organs, and other morphological characteristics and the development of identification markers for wild rice are the basis for identifying the origins and evolution of prehistorical rice agriculture. However, contemporary wild rice strains are often subject to gene introgression from domesticated rice ...

Morphological Classification of Grass Phytoliths
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1969Abstract Opal phytoliths derived from epidermal cells of grass leaves have been identified in atmospheric dust, soils, paleosols, Pleistocene loess, and deep‐sea sediments. By comparing oriented shapes of phytoliths in spodograms of 17 common grass species, four classes and 26 types are proposed which distinguish three groups of ...

Morphological characterisation of silica phytoliths in Neotropical Marantaceae leaves
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2013The Marantaceae family is composed of 550 species of pantropical distribution, with a strong clustering in the Neotropics. Although the family forms a monophyletic group, the circumscription of genera and consequently its phylogenetic relationships are not sufficiently understood.
