Sticky Exudates on the Inflorescences of \u3ci\u3eCirsium Discolor\u3c/i\u3e (Asteraceae) and \u3ci\u3ePenstemon Digitalis\u3c/i\u3e (Scrophulariaceae) as Possible Defense Against Seed Predators [PDF]
, 2018 From 1982 through 1987, I investigated whether sticky exudates released by Cirsium discolor and Penstemon digitalis in their inflorescences provide defense against seed predators. I tested two hypotheses: 1: Exudates directly deter seed predators, and 2:

Cell polarity in Arabidopsis trichomes [PDF]
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2001 Arabidopsis leaf trichomes are unicellular hairs that display a highly characteristic cell form that has a fixed orientation with respect to the basal-distal leaf axis. The genetic, molecular and cell biological analysis of trichome morphogenesis reveal that various cellular processes need to be coordinated including regulation of the cell cycle, the ...

Quantification of variability in trichome patterns [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 While pattern formation is studied in various areas of biology, little is known about the noise leading to variations between individual realizations of the pattern. One prominent example for de novo pattern formation in plants is the patterning of trichomes on Arabidopsis leaves, which involves genetic regulation and cell-to-cell communication.

Coleoptera claws and trichome interlocking
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2022 Abstract The present study tests the hypothesis that the specialized claws with a basal tooth found in some coccinellid beetles represent an adaptation to interlock with flexible unbranched trichomes of different plants. We compared the attachment ability of three Coleoptera species, Chnootriba elaterii, Harmonia axyridis (both Coleoptera ...

Morphological diversity of glandular trichomes in Urticalean Rosids
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Glandular trichomes are epidermal structures that produce, store and release a variety of chemical compounds. Their high morphological diversity allows their taxonomic use at various levels. Therefore, their description and standardization of terminology

Health monitoring of plants by their emitted volatiles: A temporary increase in the concentration of nethyl salicylate after pathogen inoculation of tomato plants at greenhouse scale [PDF]
, 2011 This paper describes a method to alert growers of the presence of a pathogen infection in their greenhouse based on the detection of pathogen-induced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants. Greenhouse-grown plants were inoculated with

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010 The dramatic movements of some carnivorous plants species are triggered by sensory structures derived from trichomes. While unusual plant species such as the Venus fly trap and sundews may be expected to have elaborate sensors to capture their insect prey, more modest plant species might not be expected to have similar sensory capabilities.
