Characterisation of the Mentha canadensis R2R3-MYB transcription factor gene McMIXTA and its involvement in peltate glandular trichome development

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Mentha canadensis L. has important economic value for the production of essential oils, which are synthesised, secreted and stored in peltate glandular trichomes. As a typical multicellular secretory trichome, glandular trichomes are important

DPPH‐based Antioxidant Screening and Cellulase‐assisted Hydrodistillation of Matourea azurea: Improved Essential Oil Yield and Density Functional Theory Insights Into a Rare Terpene

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Essential oils are rich in bioactive molecules like terpenes and phenolic compounds, but have low yields, making process efficiency crucial. Enzyme‐assisted hydrodistillation is a sustainable alternative, enhancing oil release by degrading the cell wall.

Role of trichomes on leaves and pods for imparting resistance in chickpea [Cicer arientinum (L.)] genotypes against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) [PDF]

, 2017
In chickpea, trichomes provide a potential resistance mechanism against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). The present study was conducted to evaluate the trichome density and trichome length on leaves and pods on nine genotypes of chickpea.

Chemical Composition and Antibacterial Potential of Lavandula latifolia and Lavandula angustifolia Essential Oils Against Bacillus cereus Isolated From Pipelines of Dairy Industry

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
1,8‐Cineole, limonene, and camphor were abundant in Algerian Lavandula latifolia essential oil, whereas linalol and linalyl acetate were in Lavandula angustifolia. MIC and MBC results revealed L. latifolia oil was the most effective against Bacillus cereus. Hexyl butyrate and lavandulyl acetate, among others, bound efficiently to the active site of the

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.
