Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Silica formed discrete knobs and rosettes on the epidermal surface of E. arvense.
- Observation In Avena saliva, silica occurred primarily in cell walls and lumina and much less on the outer epidermal surface.
- Observation Silicon was absent from intercalary meristematic cells of E. aruense.
- Observation Silicon was present in significant quantities in mature epidermal cells above the intercalary meristem of E. aruense.
- Mechanism The authors infer that silica deposition is very rapid in Equisclum and Avena.
