Neck strip: an apoplastic structure at glandular trichome

Nature Plants volume 10, pages 356–357 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

Glandular trichomes on plant leaves and stems synthesize and store specialized compounds. We identified a novel lignin-based structure (which we named the neck strip) required for storage of compounds in cucumber glandular trichomes and demonstrated the mechanism of specialized compound accumulation in glandular trichomes.
