Plant Glandular Trichomes: Natural Cell Factories of High Biotechnological Interest.
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 metabolites. Our understanding of the transcriptional control of glandular trichome initiation and development is still in its infancy. This review points to some central questions that need to be addressed to ...
متن کاملTerpene biosynthesis in glandular trichomes of hop.
Hop (Humulus lupulus L. Cannabaceae) is an economically important crop for the brewing industry, where it is used to impart flavor and aroma to beer, and has also drawn attention in recent years due to its potential pharmaceutical applications. Essential oils (mono- and sesquiterpenes), bitter acids (prenylated polyketides), and prenylflavonoids are the primary phytochemical components that acc...
متن کاملDevelopment of peltate glandular trichomes of peppermint.
Cryofixation and conventional chemical fixation methods were employed to examine the ultrastructure of developing peltate glandular trichomes of peppermint (Mentha x piperita). Our results are discussed in relation to monoterpene production and the mechanism of essential oil secretion. Peltate glands arise as epidermal protuberances (initials) that divide asymmetrically to produce a vacuolate b...
متن کاملIn vitro morphogenesis and secretion of secondary metabolites of Nicotiana tabacum tall glandular trichomes
The tall glandular trichomes occurring on young expanding leaves of Nicotiana tabacum grown in vitro were investigated using light and electron microscopy. Previous studies reported that the tall glandular trichomes of tobacco produce large quantities of various compounds including diterpenes. To explore the cellular structures required and putatively involved in diterpene biosynthesis and secr...
متن کاملA rapid method for isolating glandular trichomes.
A physical method is described for the rapid isolation of plant trichomes, with emphasis on stalked glandular types. The technique involved breaking frozen trichomes with powdered dry ice and collection of glandular heads by sieving from larger tissue fragments. This method was applied to several plants that bear similar stalked trichomes: geranium (Pelargonium), potato (Solanum tuberosum), tom...
