The foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata (Vahl) Sol. ex Roem. & Schult var aristata (Acanthaceae) a widespread medicinal plant species in tropical sub-Saharan Africa: with comments on its possible phylogenetic significance

open access: yesBiological Research, 2010
The micromorphology of foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata var. aristata was studied using stereo, light and scanning microscopy (SEM). This genus belongs to the advanced angiosperm family Acanthaceae, for which few micromorphological leaf studies ...

Morphology and Histochemistry of the Glandular Trichomes of Lippia scaberrima (Verbenaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2007
Lippia scaberrima, an aromatic indigenous South African plant, with medicinal application, potentially has economic value. The production of essential oil from this plant has not been optimized, and this study of the chemico-morphological characteristics was aimed at determining the location of oil production within the plant. Furthermore, the locality

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Biotransformation of monoterpenols upon pre‐treatment with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility in grapevine leaves

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Fetal glucose availability: a key regulator of the metabolic, hormonal and contractility profiles of the fetal sheep heart

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend To investigate the role of glucose availability in fetal left ventricle (LV) development, this study assessed whether maternal late gestation undernutrition (LGUN; 50% of Control diet) induced alterations in the contractility, metabolic, and hormonal profile can be ameliorated in LGUN fetuses receiving glucose infusion (LGUN+G ...

A Highly Efficient System for Separating Glandular and Non-glandular Trichome of Cucumber Fruit for Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analysis

open access: yesBio-Protocol
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) trichomes play a critical role in resisting external biological and abiotic stresses. Glandular trichomes are particularly significant as they serve as sites for the synthesis and secretion of secondary metabolites, while non ...

Localization of a defensive volatile 4-hydroxy-4-methylpentan-2-one in the capitate glandular trichomes of Oenothera glazioviana

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2017
Glandular trichomes of plants produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites which are considered as major defensive chemicals. The capitate glandular trichomes of Oenothera glazioviana (Onagraceae) were collected with laser microdissection and analyzed

Piper longiapiculatum (Piperaceae), a New Species From the Brazilian Amazon Piper longiapiculatum (Piperaceae), uma Nova Espécie da Amazônia Brasileira

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, Volume 137, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In order to address the many lacunae in Amazonian Piper taxonomy and geography, we performed a field expedition in the Serra do Divisor National Park (Acre state, Brazil), resulting in the discovery of a new species, Piper longiapiculatum, herein described and compared to morphologically similar taxa.
