The process of silicification in plants and the biochemical
effects of silica in plant tissues are largely unknown. To
study the molecular changes occurring in growing cells
that are exposed to higher than normal concentration of
silicic acid, Raman spectra of germinating pollen grains of
three species (Pinus nigra, Picea omorika, and Camellia
japonica) were analyzed in a multivariate classification
approach that takes into account the variation of biochemical
composition due to species, plant tissue structure,
and germination condition. The results of principal
component analyses of the Raman spectra indicate differences
in the utilization of stored lipids, a changed mobilization
of storage carbohydrates in the pollen grain bodies,
and altered composition and/or structure of cellulose of
the developing pollen tube cell walls. These biochemical
changes vary in the different species.
