Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, unknown): “Like silica bodies in plants, calcium oxalate bodies have several functions, including tissue calcium regulation, defense from herbivory, metal detoxification, and structural functions (Franceschi and Horner 1980 ; Ruiz et al. 2002 ; Nakata 2003 ; Franceschi and Nakata 2005) .”
