Phytoliths from Woody Plants: A Review

Diversity, 2022
Phytoliths are efficient proxies in archaeology, plant taxonomy, palaeoenvironment, and palaeoecology reconstruction, the research of which has been developing rapidly in recent years. Phytolith morphology is the basis of phytolith research.

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

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 ...

Exploring silica accumulation in bamboo leaves: a study on phytolith morphology and epidermal patterning in the tropical giant bamboo Dendrocalamus copelandii. [PDF]

Ann Bot
Abstract Background and Aims Bamboo is a grass in the Poaceae family with various applications. Bamboo leaves can accumulate high silica. However, silica deposition in bamboo has received limited study. Therefore, this research investigated silica accumulation in Dendrocalamus copelandii leaves.

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.
