Ultrastructural characteristics and histochemical analysis of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) foliar trichomes [PDF]
Background Trichomes play important roles in improving plant environmental adaptation. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) leaves have a dense distribution of trichomes, divided into two major categories: non-glandular trichomes (NGTs) and glandular trichomes (

GLANDULAR TRICHOME IN THE ASTERACEAE FAMILY [PDF]
The Asteraceae is a diverse plant species and widely distributed, especially in the tropics and subtropics, consisting of 1,600 - 1,700 genera which include 24,000 - 30,000Â species. Asteraceae has characteristics of cup flowers and brackets that are not owned by other plants. The objective of this study was to determine the morphological structure of

Genetic Control of Glandular Trichome Development
Plant glandular trichomes are epidermal secretory structures producing various specialized metabolites. These metabolites are involved in plant adaptation to its environment and many of them have remarkable properties exploited by fragrance, flavor, and pharmaceutical industries. The identification of genes controlling glandular trichome development is

Transcriptome analysis of alfalfa glandular trichomes [PDF]
Glandular trichomes are a major site of plant natural product synthesis and accumulation for protection against insect predation. However, to date few studies have attempted to obtain a global view of trichome gene expression. Two contrasting approaches have been adopted to investigate genes expressed in glandular trichomes from alfalfa (Medicago ...

Development of Peltate Glandular Trichomes of Peppermint [PDF]
Cryofixation and conventional chemical fixation methods were employed to examine the ultrastructure of developing peltate glandular trichomes of peppermint (Mentha x piperita). Our results are discussed in relation to monoterpene production and the mechanism of essential oil secretion.
