Newest firstGlandular trichomes (GTs) are epidermal outgrowths in which diverse specialised (secondary) metabolites are synthesised and stored. Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and its close relative hop (Humulus lupulus L.) have pharmaceutical and industrial significance due to the presence of these metabolites in their GTs. We examined the conservation or divergence of the specific transcriptional programmes underlying GT biol…
Open article record in new tab ↗Phytocannabinoids are medically important specialized defense compounds that are sparsely distributed among plants, yet Cannabis sativa can synthesize unprecedented amounts of these compounds within highly specialized surface cell factories known as glandular trichomes. The control mechanisms that allow for this high level of productivity are poorly understood at the molecular level, although increasing evidence s…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The relationship between epigenomics and plant specialised metabolism remains largely unexplored despite the fundamental importance of epigenomics in gene regulation and, potentially, yield of products of plant specialised metabolic pathways. The glandular trichomes of Cannabis sativa are an emerging model system that produce large quantities of cannabinoid and terpenoid specialised metabolites with kno…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Glandular capitate trichomes which form on bract tissues of female inflorescences of high THC-containing Cannabis sativa L. plants are important sources of terpenes and cannabinoids. The influence of plant age and cannabis genotype on capitate trichome development, morphology, and maturation has not been extensively studied. Knowledge of the various developmental changes that occur in trichomes over tim…
