De la Rosa-Tilapa A., Vázquez-Sánchez M., Terrazas T., Biominerals in the Cacteae tribe: Chemical-morphological characterization, distribution and systematic perspectives, Flora, 2022, 294:152129, doi: 10.1016/j.flora.2022.152129
An anatomical and chemical comparison of biominerals in stems of 149 Cacteae species and subspecies representing 28 genera. The authors identify deposit shapes and distribution in tissues, compare their maximum lengths and analyse elemental composition in 34 species. The paper discusses the systematic significance of prisms, druses, spherulites and amorphous silica bodies.
