TI  - Development and Biomechanics of Grewia lasiocarpa E. Mey. Ex Harv. Trichomes 
      Exudate.

AB  - Grewia lasiocarpa E. Mey. Ex Harv., Malvaceae (forest raisin) is a tropical small 
      tree or shrub valued for its ecological importance as well as its nutritional, 
      antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-cancer properties as well as its ecological 
      and ornamental importance. Glandular and non-glandular trichomes are present on 
      the fruits, stem bark and leaves of G. lasiocarpa and these trichomes are the 
      first line of defense. They are important structures that plants use to combat 
      biotic and abiotic stress. The development of G. lasiocarpa trichomes and the 
      biomechanics of the exudates present in the glandular (capitate) trichome were 
      investigated for the first time using advanced microscopy techniques [Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM)]. The 
      pressurized cuticular striations may play a role in the exudates' biomechanics, 
      i.e., releasing secondary metabolites present in the capitate trichome, which was 
      observed to be multidirectional. The presence of many glandular trichomes on a 
      plant implies an increase in the amount of phytometabolites. A common precursor 
      for the development of trichomes (non-glandular and glandular) was observed to be 
      DNA synthesis associated with a periclinal cell division, thus the final fate of 
      the cell is determined by cell cycle regulation, polarity, and expansion. The 
      glandular trichomes of G. lasiocarpa are multicellular and polyglandular, while 
      the non-glandular (glandless) trichomes are either single-celled or 
      multicellular. Since, trichomes 'house' phytocompounds of medicinal, nutritional, 
      and agronomical benefits; the molecular and genetic study of the glandular 
      trichomes of Grewia lasiocarpa will be beneficial to humanity.
