The present study summarizes the current literature on the presence and the structure of
biogenic amorphous silica (BAS) in nature. Based on this review, it is shown that BAS is …

Dispersal of gametophytes is critical for land plant survivorship and reproduction. It defines
potential colonization and geographical distribution as well as genetic mixing and evolution …

To advance our understanding of the molecular biochemistry of fungi which impact cultural
heritage in libraries, museums and archives we investigated the diagnostic capacity of …

The plant cell wall is a complex composite material made of polysaccharides, polyphenols,
proteins, and minerals. In this work, a multimodal imaging approach was taken, using …

We use Raman microscopy to describe the structure and chemical composition of both
conidiophore and hyphae of Botrytis cinerea, a common plant pathogen. To interpret …

We describe a surface charge imaging method for heterogeneous biosilicas based on
relationships between zeta (ζ) potential, feature size of nanoparticles, and PDMPO …

This paper presents the histo-anatomical characteristics of the stem, nodal branches and
leaves of three Equisetum species, Equisetum pratense, Equisetum telmateia and …
