South African Journal of Botany, 2011 AbstractStudy of phytoliths of pteridophytes is an emerging area of research. Literature on this aspect is limited but increasing. Some recent findings have shown that phytoliths may have systematic and phylogenetic utility in pteridophytes. Phytoliths are functionally significant for the development and survival of pteridophytes. Experiments with some

Phenotypic and Molecular Characterisation of Silicon Uptake and Deposition in Festuca arundinacea [PDF]
, 2017 Silicon (Si) is taken up from the soil as monosilicilic acid by plant roots, transported to leaves and deposited as phytoliths, amorphous silica (SiO2) bodies, which are a key component of anti-herbivore defense in grasses. Silicon transporters have been

Phytolith-Mediated Biocarbon Sequestration
International Journal of Plant & Soil ScienceThe sequestration of biocarbon primarily arises from natural mechanisms and is acknowledged as a critical measure in mitigating climate change. An inactive form of carbon, known as phytolith occluded carbon, is sequestered within plants and persists in soil for thousands of years following the breakdown of vegetation.
