Essential Oils and Glandular Trichomes of Perilla Seedlings as Affected by Light Intensity

Parthenolide and abscisic acid synthesis in feverfew are associated but environmental factors affect them dissimilarly

“…It has been suggested that PRT is mainly present in the trichomes (Blakeman and Atkinson, 1979;Awang et al, 1991;Brown et al, 1999), which agrees with our observation that water stress increased PRT levels. Moreover, changes in the level of metabolites in trichomes, as a response of the plant to changes in the environment, have previously been reported (Kimura et al, 2000). In this study the increase in total trichome volume could have contributed to increase PRT levels in plants recovered from water stress.…”
