Phytoliths from some grasses (Poaceae) in arid lands of Xinjiang, China [PDF]
Acta Biologica Sibirica, 2021 Opal phytoliths, as silicon dioxide inclusions, are abundant in different parts of a plant. It is known that grasses are the most representative in this respect.

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.

Functions of silicon and phytolith in higher plants
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023 Silicon (Si) is abundant in the lithosphere, and previous studies have confirmed that silicon plays an important role in plant growth. Higher plants absorb soluble silicon from soil through roots which is deposited in plant tissues mainly in the form of ...

Electron probe microanalysis of the elemental composition of phytoliths from woody bamboo species.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is promising for accurately determining elemental components in micro-areas of individual phytolith particles, interpreting compositional features and formation mechanisms of phytoliths in plants, identifying ...

Translocation of Phytoliths Within Natural Soil Profiles in Northeast China
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Phytoliths are a reliable paleovegetation proxy and have made an important contribution to paleoclimatic studies. However, little is known about the depositional processes affecting soil phytoliths, which limits their use for paleoclimate and ...
