Plant trichomes, protrusions formed from specialized aboveground epidermal cells, provide
protection against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Trichomes can be unicellular …

Hair-like structures are shared by most living organisms. The hairs on plant surfaces,
commonly referred to as trichomes, form diverse types to sense and protect against various …

Plant growth and development are controlled by a complex gene regulatory network, which
is currently a focal point of research. It has been established that epigenetic factors play a …

Glandular trichomes (GTs) are outgrowths of plant epidermal cells that secrete and store
specialized secondary metabolites that protect plants against biotic and abiotic stresses and …

Fusarium wilt disease, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc), leads to
widespread yield loss and quality decline in cucumber. However, the molecular …

Trade-offs between survival and growth are widely observed in plants. Melon is an annual,
trailing herb that produces economically valuable fruits that are traditionally cultivated in …

Light signals promote photomorphogenesis and photosynthesis, allowing plants to establish
photoautotrophic growth. Chloroplasts are organelles responsible for photosynthesis in …

The peltate glandular trichomes (PGTs) on Nepeta tenuifolia leaves can secrete and store
bioactive essential oils. ScRNA-seq is a powerful tool for uncovering heterogeneous cells …

Trichomes provide an excellent model for studying cell differentiation and proliferation. The
aboveground tissues of plants with long dense trichomes (LDTs) can cause skin itching in …

Plant trichome development is influenced by diverse developmental and environmental
signals, but the molecular mechanisms involved are not well understood in most plant …
