Sensory Evaluation of Common Ice Plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) in Response to Sodium Chloride Concentration in Hydroponic Nutrient Solution [PDF]
Foods, 2022 Common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) is a novel edible plant with a succulent and savory flavor. The plants display prominent epidermal bladder cells (EBCs) on the surface of the leaves that store water and sodium chloride (NaCl).

Comparative evaluation of physical methods for extracting leaf trichomes [PDF]
Plant MethodsTrichomes are hairlike protuberances in plants that deter herbivores using both physical and chemical means, with pre- and post-ingestive effects. In addition, trichomes also serve as a protective layer, reducing transpiration loss, thereby improving ...
