exist in diverse forms, are readily accessible, and serve as an excellent model system for …

Leaf hairs (trichomes) of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) have been extensively used as
a model to address general questions in cell and developmental biology. Here, we lay the …

Anthocyanins and tannins are two of the most abundant flavonoids found in grapevine, and
their synthesis is derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway. As described for model …
