Artemisinin Biosynthesis in Non-glandular Trichome Cells of Artemisia annua [PDF]
Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) forms the first line of malaria treatment. However, the yield fluctuation of artemisinin has remained an unsolved problem in meeting the global demand for ACT. This problem is mainly caused by the glandular trichome (GT)-specific biosynthesis of artemisinin in all currently used Artemisia annua cultivars ...

AbstractTrichomes are potentially important for absorption of foliar fertilizers. A study has shown that the non-glandular trichromes (NGTs) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) accumulated high concentrations of foliar-applied zinc (Zn); however, the mechanisms of Zn accumulation in the NGTs and the fate of this Zn are unclear.

Defence from the wild:Specialised metabolism in tomato glandular trichomes [PDF]
Glandular trichomes are small, hair-like structures found on the above-ground surfaces of about 30% of the higher plants. Consisting of one or more glandular cells, oftentimes on top of a basal-and a stalk cell, glandular trichomes synthesise, store and ...

Transcriptional profiling unravels potential metabolic activities of the olive leaf non-glandular trichome [PDF]
The olive leaf trichomes are multicellular peltate hairs densely distributed mainly at the lower leaf epidermis. Although, non-glandular, they have gained much attention since they significantly contribute to abiotic and biotic stress tolerance of olive leaves.

A versatile promoter for the expression of proteins in glandular and non-glandular trichomes from a variety of plants [PDF]
A DNA regulatory fragment was isolated from the promoter region of the OASA1 gene, encoding the cytosolic O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase enzyme that is highly expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana trichomes. This DNA fragment has been named an ATP fragment and comprises 1435 bp of the genomic region upstream of the OASA1 gene and 375 bp of the transcriptional ...

Non-glandular trichomes of Solanum carolinense deter feeding by Manduca sexta caterpillars and cause damage to the gut peritrophic matrix. [PDF]
Plant trichomes constitute a first line of defence against insect herbivores. The pre- and post-ingestive defensive functions of glandular trichomes are well documented and include direct toxicity, adhesion, antinutrition and defence gene induction. By contrast, the defensive functions of non-glandular trichomes are less well characterized, although ...
