Morphological study of modern phytolith assemblages in guinea Sahara region of Nigeria [PDF]

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2022
Morphological study of phytolith was carried out from 11 plant species in 10 different plant families in Nigeria.Fresh plant leaves were randomly collected each from family which consists of leaves from 11 species for phytolith analysis. Schulze’s solution was the standard method used to extract phytolith from the sample.

VARIATION IN PHYTOLITHS MORPHOLOGY OF ERIANTHUS ARUNDINACEUS

Journal of Sugarcane Research, 2020
Five improved Erianthus arundinaceus clones were studied for variations in phytoliths present in leaves. Phytoliths were extracted by acid digestion and the morphology was studied by light microscopy. Phytoliths belonging to three classes viz., Eupanicoid, Festucoid and Chloridoid were identified in the samples.

Silicified bulliform cells of Poaceae: morphological characteristics that distinguish subfamilies

Botanical Studies, 2020
Background Grass phytoliths are the most common phytoliths in sediments; recognizing grass phytolith types is important when using phytoliths as a tool to reconstruct paleoenvironments.

Phytoliths in Inflorescence Bracts: Preliminary Results of an Investigation on Common Panicoideae Plants in China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Phytoliths in the inflorescence of Poaceae plants can be of high taxonomic value in some archaeological contexts and provide insight into plant taxonomy and crop domestication processes. In this study, phytoliths in every inflorescence bract of 38 common

Phytoliths analysis for the discrimination of Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and Common millet (Panicum miliaceum). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and Common millet (Panicum miliaceum) are the oldest domesticated dry farming crops in Eurasia. Identifying these two millets in the archaeobotanical remains are still problematic, especially because the millet grains ...

Impact of rice cultivar and organ on elemental composition of phytoliths and the release of bio-available silicon

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The continental bio-cycling of silicon (Si) plays a key role in global Si cycle and as such partly controls global carbon (C) budget through nutrition of marine and terrestrial biota, accumulation of phytolith-occluded organic carbon (PhytOC) and ...

Differentiation of globular phytoliths in Arecaceae and other monocotyledons: morphological description for paleobotanical application

TURKISH JOURNAL OF BOTANY, 2015
Globular phytoliths have been mainly assigned to palms, woody trees, and other monocotyledon families from tropical regions. The lack of detailed descriptions of this phytolith morphology and its correct assignments to particular groups could lead to erroneous interpretations of phytolith records.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

Bulliform Phytolith Size of Rice and Its Correlation With Hydrothermal Environment: A Preliminary Morphological Study on Species in Southern China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
En la última década, nuestra comprensión de la domesticación del arroz ha mejorado con nuevos hallazgos arqueológicos que utilizan técnicas analíticas avanzadas, como análisis morfológicos y morfométricos en granos de arroz, bases de espiguillas y fitolitos, y análisis de ADN antiguo en restos de arroz. Estudios previos han considerado el tamaño de los
