Abstract:
Calcium oxalate crystal is a common cell ergastic substance in plant tissues. Although the mechanism of its synthesis and degradation is not yet clear, it shows a good application prospect in the aspects of calculosis treatment, food safety, plant disease control, pipeline engineering, and saline-alkali utilization. In this review, we discussed the mechanism of synthesis and degradation of calcium oxalate crystals and their physiological functions, and showed the practical application of related research results in urinary stone disease and other fields.
