Ontogeny, structure, and necrosis of trichomes on the epidermis of slipper spurge (Pedilanthus tithymaloides)
Keyword(s):
The trichomes of slipper spurge (Pedilanthus tithymaloides Poit.) are uniseriate, curved, and branched or unbranched. The trichome originates by an enlargement of a single protodermal initial, which elongates and gradually becomes curved, septate, and branched. Cytoplasm is present only during its early developmental stages. Later its cytoplasm and nucleus undergo necrosis and its walls become thickened. The structural changes occur during the bilumenation of the basal cell. The distal part above the bilumenated basal cell of the trichome is finally shed and only the thick-walled basal cell remains.
