Trichomes on Salvia pomifera (Lamiaceae) in Turkey [Plaukeliai ant Turkijoje aptinkamos Salvia pomifera (Lamiaceae) organų]
SantraukaMorphology and localization of glandular and non-glandular
trichomes on vegetative and reproductive organs of Salvia pomifera were
investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. This species is endemic
to the east Mediterranean region. Five distinct types of glandular trichomes
(one peltate and four capitate) were determined on the organs of this species.
The peltate trichomes were characterized by a short stalk cell, a basal cell
and a large spherical two to four-celled head. The capitate trichomes consisted
of one to four-celled stalk, one-celled neck and one to two-celled head. On the
leaves and calyx peltate trichomes were abundant, while on the stem and petiole
they were rare. The capitate glandular and non-glandular trichomes were widely
observed on vegetative and reproductive organs of S. pomifera.
