Abstract
• Background and aims Much recent study of plant trichomes has focused on various aspects of glandular secreting trichomes (GSTs) and differentiation of simple trichomes. This Botanical Briefing will highlight: ‐ research on various aspects of, and manipulation of glandular secreting trichomes; ‐ molecular aspects of the differentiation and development of simple trichomes of arabidopsis and cotton; ‐ how methods for manipulation of model systems used in the above work can be applied to expand our understanding of less studied surface structures of plants. • Scope The Briefing will cover: ‐ established and suggested roles of simple and glandular secreting trichomes; ‐ recent results regarding solute and ion movement in trichomes; ‐ methods for isolating trichomes; ‐ recent studies of trichome differentiation and development; ‐ attempts to modify metabolism in secreting trichomes; ‐ efforts to exploit trichomes for commercial and agronomic purposes.Keywords
