Abstract
Glandular trichomes, the epidermal projections over aerial plant parts primarily function in defense against stresses including protection from insects and microbes. These structures are characterized by dedicated genetic machinery for overproduction of structurally diverse secondary metabolites. Certain secondary metabolites of trichome origin display interesting pharmacological activities, and therefore are of immense economical interest as drug, aroma and allelochemicals. For obvious reasons, glandular trichomes have been focus of ‘omics’ studies, particularly for elucidating molecular basis of such a large scale production of secondary metabolites. In the last decade, next generation sequencing has fueled the development of transcriptome landscapes of glandular trichomes of several medicinal and aromatic plants. Taken together, these studies have started to unravel gene and metabolic networks operating in glandular trichomes, and therefore are potentially useful for identification of novel molecular targets for strategic metabolic engineering of economically important secondary metabolites as well as for development of stress tolerant plant varieties. The present book chapter will update our current knowledge about aspects of glandular trichome biology including its applied value in plant biology.
