Trichome-related mutants provide a new perspective on the multicellular trichome initiation and development in cucumber (Cucumis sativus. L)
Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells located in aerial parts of plants that function in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. The simple unicellular trichomes of Arabidopsis serve as an excellent model to study the molecular mechanism of cell differentiation and pattern formation i...
