Ultrastructural characteristics and histochemical analysis of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) foliar trichomes [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
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 (

Stinging Trichome Density and Morphology of Three Nettle Species Reflect Mountain Gorillas' Feeding Behavior [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Plants have developed defense mechanisms against herbivory, including stinging trichomes. Unlike smaller trichomes, which deter insects, the larger, biomineralized, stinging trichomes in Urticaceae defend plants from mammals. The trichome tip breaks off,
