Trichomes are epidermal outgrowths generally associated with protection against herbivores and/or desiccation that are widely distributed from ferns to angiosperms. Patterns of topological variation and morphological ...

The genus Mimosa L. is well known for its high morphological variability and the presence of taxonomic complexes-groups of taxa that are not adequately circumscribed and are therefore in continuous revision. For this study, ...

Here, we studied leaflets of 18 taxa of the Dolentes-Brevipedes taxonomic complex, focusing on micromorphology, type, shape and density of trichomes. Within the non-glandular trichomes, we described three types of ...

Trichomes and the cuticle are two specialized structures of the aerial epidermis that are important for plant organ development and interaction with the environment. In this study, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana plants ...

Hoffmann's species Neuropteris Scheuchzeri in Keferstein 1827 is generally but not exclusively identified by its 1-4 mm long trichomes or hairs, though he did not mention nor illustrate them in the diagnosis of the species.  ...

Premise of research. Glands on the styles of Asteraceae are uncommon. They are reported in Kaunia for the first time. Glandular trichomes of plants are involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites. In Kaunia, secondary ...

Background and Aims: A significant proportion of orchid species assigned to subtribe Oncidiinae produce floral oil as a food reward that attracts specialized bee pollinators. This oil is produced either by glabrous glands ...
