“…The presence of peltate and capitate glandular trichomes is a common feature to Lamiaceae species Ascensão et al 1999), and has been reported to species from different genera (Ascensão et al 1995;Corsi & Bottega 1999;Rodrigues et al 2006;Duarte & Lopes 2007;Gonçalves et al 2010). As a rule, peltate trichomes present short stalk and a large secretory head, while in the capitate trichomes the stalk is more than half of the height of the head (Abu-Asab & Cantino 1987;Ascensão & Pais 1998;Werker 2000).…”

“…Although the analysis of the morphotype IV was not possible under tranwsmission electron microscopy, the rupture of the cuticle suggests the accumulation of secretion in a subcuticular space in a previous moment (Ascensão et al 1995;Serrato-Valentini et al 1997). In this morphotype, lipopholic and hydrophilic substances were histochemically detected in the head and stalk cells, with more intense reaction to lipids and terpenes in the head cells.…”

“…The morphology of the glandular trichomes is highly variable within the family. In almost all studied species, capitate and peltate trichomes are present (Ascensão & Pais 1998), being common the occurrence of different versions of them (Ascensão et al 1995;Ascensão & Pais 1998;Ascensão et al 1999;Corsi & Bottega 1999;Martins 2002;Maggi et al 2010;Baran et al 2010;Mota et al 2013). Peculiarities on the distribution, arrangement and function of the different glandular morphotypes have been observed in Lamiaceae (Corsi & Bottega 1999) and a correlation between the gland morphology and the composition of secretion has been proposed (Werker 1993;Ascensão & Pais 1998;Corsi & Bottega 1999).…”

“…Substances of diff erent chemical categories can be produced by glandular trichomes, and their subcellular features vary according to the substances produced and the form of release of the secretion (Ascensão et al 1995;Ascensão & Pais 1998;Appezzato-da-Glória et al 2012;Naidoo et al 2012;Tozin et al 2015a;Silva et al 2016).…”

Lamiaceae contains many species known for their aromatic properties that are produced by the production of essential oils in glandular trichomes. Hyptis is one of the most common genera of Lamiaceae in the Brazilian fl ora, and includes several species with medicinal value. However, studies on the morphology and functioning of their glandular trichomes are lacking. We analyzed the morphology, histochemistry and ultrastructure of the glandular trichomes in leaves of H. villosa, emphasizing the diff erential distribution of actin fi laments and microtubules in cells secreting hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds. Four morphotypes of glandular trichomes were identifi ed. Total lipid, terpenes, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, proteins and polysaccharides were histochemically detected in all morphotyes. Th is evidences the mixed nature of the secretions of this species, although there are diff erences in the prevalence of lipophilic and hydrophilic components among the glandular morphotypes and among the cells of the same trichome. Th e actin microfi laments are more abundant in cells that secrete mainly hydrophilic compounds, and microtubules predominate in cells that secrete lipophilic compounds. Our results corroborate the correlation between the glandular morphotype and the composition of the secretion produced, with a diff erential distribution of the cytoskeletal elements according to the prevalence of either hydrophilic or lipophilic substances.

“…Klein et al (2004) detectaram, além de carboidratos, a presença de proteínas na secreção dos coléteres de Simira glaziovii (Rubiaceae), as quais possivelmente estão associadas com mecanismo de defesa contra microorganismos. A presença de substâncias lipofílicas na mucilagem é geralmente associada com a proteção contra herbívoros e patógenos além de impermeabilização da superfície de órgãos jovens (Werker & Fahn 1981;Ascensão et al 1995;Corsi & Bottega 1999). Todas as funções acima mencionadas podem ser igualmente atribuídas à secreção produzida pelos coléteres de H. pernambucensis e, embora faltem dados experimentais, a presença dessas estruturas secretoras nos órgãos em desenvolvimento possivelmente conferem proteção contra agentes bióticos e abióticos.…”

ABSTRACT(Mucilage-secreting structures of Hibiscus pernambucensis Arruda (Malvaceae): distribution, morphoanatomical and histochemical characterization). This work studied the mucilage-secreting structures of Hibiscus pernambucensis using light and scanning electron microscopy. Known as guaxima-do-mangue, algodão-do-brejo and embira-do-mangue, this species is a native shrub that occurs in mangrove and restinga along the Brazilian coast, and is important in the production of textile fibers and cellulose, provides abundant mucilage that is used medicinally like other Malvaceae species, and has tannins. The results of this work found colleters, pearl glands, long-stalked secretory trichomes, ducts, cavities and idioblasts. The colleters occur on the shoot apices, stipules, leaf primordia, leaves, young sepals and petals. The pearl glands are present in the adaxial and abaxial surface of the leaf primordia. The ducts and the cavities occur in the vegetative and reproductive shoot apices. The idioblasts occur in the roots, both in primary and secondary stages of development, and in the leaf mesophyll. The secretion of the different secretory structures is made predominantly of acids and neutral polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and phenolic substances. The presence of external and internal mucilage-secreting structures in all plant organs, at different stages of development, represents an important adaptive mechanism to restinga and mangrove environments.

1,8‐Cineole is the main volatile produced by Thymus albicans Hoffmanns. & Link 1,8‐cineole chemotype. To understand the contribution of distinct plant organs to the high 1,8‐cineole production, trichome morphology and density, as well as emitted volatiles and transcriptional expression of the 1,8‐cineole synthase (CIN) gene were determined separately for T. albicans leaves, bracts, calyx, corolla and inflorescences. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and stereoscope microscopy observations showed the highest peltate trichome density in leaves and bracts, significantly distinct from calyx and corolla. T. albicans volatiles were collected by solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and by GC for component identification and quantification, respectively. Of the 23 components identified, 1,8‐cineole was the dominant volatile (57–93 %) in all T. albicans plant organs. The relative amounts of emitted volatiles clearly separated vegetative from reproductive organs. Gene expression of CIN was assigned to all organs analyzed and was consistent with the relatively high emission of 1,8‐cineole in leaves and bracts. Further studies will be required to analyze monoterpenoid biosynthesis by each type of glandular trichome.
