As superficial structures, non-glandular trichomes, protect plant organs against multiple
biotic and abiotic stresses. The protective and defensive roles of these epidermal …

Glandular trichomes are specialized hairs found on the surface of about 30% of all vascular
plants and are responsible for a significant portion of a plant's secondary chemistry …

Leaves have evolved to effectively harvest light, and, in parallel, to balance photosynthetic
CO2 assimilation with water losses. At times, leaves must operate under light limiting …

Plant trichomes play important protective functions and may have a major influence on leaf
surface wettability. With the aim of gaining insight into trichome structure, composition, and …

Experiments were conducted on Phillyrea latifolia plants grown under a dense overstorey of
Pinus pinea (shade plants) or on seashore dunes (sun plants) in a coastal area of Tuscany …

Trichomes are differentiated epidermal cells on above ground organs of nearly all land
plants. They play important protective roles as structural defenses upon biotic attacks such …

The role of flavonoids in mechanisms of acclimation to high solar radiation was analysed in
Ligustrum vulgare and Phillyrea latifolia, two Mediterranean shrubs that have the same …

The methanol extracts of leaves, flowers, stalks and bulbs of the North African endemic
Allium roseum var. odoratissimum were analyzed for their phenolic profiles and screened for …

Plants are extremely plastic organisms with the ability to adapt and respond to the changing
environmental conditions surrounding them. Sunlight is one of the main resources for plants …

To gain a better understanding of the protective function of the trichome in Arabidopsis
against UV-B radiation, we performed a study using several Arabidopsis trichome mutants …
