Past plant use in Jordan as revealed by archaeological and ethnoarchaeological phytolith signatures [PDF]
, 2011 Ninety-six phytolith samples were analysed from seven archaeological sites ranging from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic to the Classical period and from two ethnoarchaeological sites in Jordan.

Irrigation and phytolith formation:an experimental study [PDF]
, 2011 It has been proposed that phytoliths from archaeological sites can be indicators of water availability and hence inform about past agricultural practices (Rosen and Weiner, 1994; Madella et al., 2009). Rosen and Weiner (1994) found that the number of

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.

Effects of lanthanum and acid rain stress on the bio-sequestration of lanthanum in phytoliths in germinated rice seeds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 REEs in the environment can be absorbed by plants and sequestered by plant phytoliths. Acid rain can directly or indirectly affect plant physiological functions. Currently, the effects of REEs and acid rain on phytolith-REEs complex in plants are not yet

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.

Environmental Context of Hominin Foot Evolution. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives This study investigates the environmental contexts that influenced the evolution of hominin foot morphology, focusing on when, where, and under what conditions key synapomorphies evolved. We test whether shifts in ecological conditions are associated with changes in locomotor function.

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.

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 ...

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.
