Abstract：
:Syagrus coronata is an economically important palm tree grown as an ornament, for the oil extracted from its seeds, and the wax from its leaves which has several applications in industry. Silicon biocomposites were analyzed in leaves of S. coronata. Silica bodies were found as extracellular silica masses between the hypodermal-layer cell walls and in granules present in the vacuoles of palisade cells. Scanning electron microscopy of the hypodermal layer of cells showed a collection of spherical bodies embedded in enveloping cavities that outlined the general structure of the bodies. Globular subunits with sharp edges formed the spherical bodies that ranged from 6 to 10 microm in diameter (average, 7.8 microm). X-ray microanalysis detected only silicon and oxygen homogeneously distributed throughout the bodies. Vacuoles of palisade cells contained a large number of granules ranging from 20 nm to 1.2 microm in size (average, 300 nm). Transmission electron microscopy associated with electron spectroscopic imaging and electron energy loss spectroscopy were used to determine the elemental composition of the granules. Vacuolar granules were amorphous and composed of silicon and oxygen, suggesting they consist of amorphous silica biominerals. No nitrogen, indicative of organic matter, was detected in the granules.
