Plant trichomes come in a variety of shapes, sizes and cellular composition. Some types,
commonly called glandular trichomes, produce large amounts of specialized (secondary) …

Glandular trichomes cover the surface of many plant species. They exhibit tremendous
diversity, be it in their shape or the compounds they secrete. This diversity is expressed …

Glandular trichomes are epidermal outgrowths that are the site of biosynthesis and storage
of large quantities of specialized metabolites. Besides their role in the protection of plants …

Multicellular glandular trichomes are epidermal outgrowths characterized by the presence of
a head made of cells that have the ability to secrete or store large quantities of specialized …

Secreting glandular plant trichome types which accumulate large quantities of metabolic
products in the space between their gland cell walls and cuticle permit the plant to amass …

The aerial surfaces of 20%-30% of vascular plant species contain glandular trichomes that
are often peltate in form (Dell and McComb 1978; Fahn 1988; Wagner 1991). These …

Plant secretory trichomes have a unique capacity for chemical synthesis and secretion and
have been described as biofactories for the production of natural products. However, until …

Successful biochemical reactions in organisms necessitate compartmentalization of the
requisite components. Glandular trichomes (GTs) act as compartments for the synthesis and …

Plant glandular trichomes (GTs) are epidermal outgrowths with the capacity to biosynthesize
and secrete specialized metabolites, that are of great scientific and practical significance …

The leaf surface of most terrestrial plants is covered with plant hairs called trichomes. These
epidermal appendages are thought to contribute to many aspects of plant defense against …
