Part of the book series: Reference Series in Phytochemistry ((RSP))

Abstract

Leaf glandular trichomes are multicellular secretory structures that arise from protodermal cells. They are characterized by a diverse form, localization, density, and composition of secreted substances. Formation of the glandular trichomes is caused by the need to protect plants from various biotic and abiotic factors, including herbivorous insects, fungi, pathogens, extensive light, UVB radiation, or high temperature. The main feature of the glandular trichomes is an ability to synthesize and accumulate the various compounds of primary and secondary metabolism. Morphology, development, ultrastructural characteristics of the cells producing the secondary compounds, content of the secretory products, as well as mechanisms of secretion are discussed in this chapter.
