Ontogeny and the process of biomineralization in the trichomes of Loasaceae.

Journal: American journal of botany

PMID: 28274946

Abstract

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: South American Loasaceae have a morphologically complex trichome cover, which is characterized by multiple biomineralization. The current study investigates the ontogeny of these complex trichomes and the process of their biomineralization, since both are very poorly understood.
