Trichomes are the epidermal appendages commonly observed on plant surfaces including
leaves, stem and fruits. Plant trichomes have been well studied as a structural plant defence …

Previous studies have found indications that exposure to ionising radiation (IR) results in
DNA methylation changes in plants. However, this phenomenon is yet to be studied across …

Alpine medicinal plant growth, physiological processes and final number of metabolites are
affected by elevation, demonstrating phenotypic plasticity. Therefore, in-depth …

Trichomes are hair-like structures that are essential for abiotic and biotic stress responses.
Tomato Hair (H), encoding a C2H2 zinc finger protein, was found to regulate the …

Solanaceous plants are ubiquitous and are able to colonize degraded, abandoned and
metal polluted habitats. Members of the family have evolved interesting extrinsic and …

Abstract Main Conclusion Permanent glandular trichomes of Robinia viscosa var. hartwigii
produce viscous secretion containing several secondary metabolites, as lipids, mucilage …

Understanding the evolutionary forces that maintain phenotypic variation in ecologically
relevant traits has long been one of the central goals of evolutionary ecology. While the …

Five new clerodane diterpenoids along with ten known compounds were isolated from the
underground parts of Solidago altissima L. Compounds 1–4 were rare ent-neo-clerodanes …

Key message A number of potential genes and pathways involved in tepal trichome
development were identified in a natural lily mutant by transcriptome analysis and were …

The function of trichome in plants, the first barrier against biotic stress and changing
environments, is irreplaceable in physical protection and chemical defense. The regulation …
