The structure and function of glandular trichomes associated with the trap of the blad- derwort Utricularia are reviewed. This is based on knowledge gained with the light microscope by early workers and the results of more recent studies using the electron microscope, correlated with new ...
In contrast, trichomes of gymnosperms have been described in fossilized samples, but have not been studied in living plants. Here, we describe the characterization of GTs on young stems of a hybrid white spruce. Metabolite and histological analysis of spruce GTs support a glandular function with ...
Plant glandular trichomes (GTs) are epidermal outgrowths with the capacity to biosynthesize and secrete specialized metabolites, that are of great scientific and practical significance. Our understanding of the developmental process of GTs is limited, and no single plant species serves as a unique mod...
The study also showed that insecticide use did not affect pest entrapment by sticky glandular trichomes. Tobacco Plant 'Stickiness' Aids Helpful Insects, Plant Health LM images revealed that GT stalk cells were arranged in multiple rows, while the cells of the glandular head containing red-stained...
trichomespest resistancetomatoAlmost all plants form trichomes, which protect them against insect herbivores by forming a physical barrier and releasing chemical repellants. Glandular trichomes produce a variety of specialized defensive metabolites, including volatile terpenes. Previous studies have shown that ...

Article: Characterization of two genes for the biosynthesis of the labdane diterpene Z-abienol in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) glandular trichomes
Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt is a medicinal and edible plant widely cultivated in Asia. Terpenoids, flavonoids and phenolic acids are the primary source of medicinal ingredients. Glandular trichomes with multicellular structures are known as biochemical
Glandular trichomes and laticifers occur in I. pes-caprae (L.) Stweet (Convolvulaceae) and I. imperati (Vahl) Griseb. However, the importance of their secretion for the species survival in “Restinga” environments had not yet been investigated. This study aimed to anatomically and histochemic...
Next, we asked what the function of genes associated with different histone marks in glandular trichomes were. To gain a global understanding, we assessed all loci bearing histone marks in glandular trichomes; we did not focus on loci only present specifically in glandular trichomes. Gene Ontology...
