Micromorphological analysis reveals structural diversity of trichomes in Anisochilus scaber, indicating their role in plant physiology.

This study aims to analyze the structural diversity of trichomes in Anisochilus scaber.
Utilized scanning electron microscope and bright field microscope for analysis.
Observed two basic types of trichomes: glandular (peltate and capitate) and non-glandular (multicellular, simple or branched).
Examined trichome distribution across different plant parts.
Glandular trichomes were identified, while mature stems showed almost complete absence of trichomes.
Diacytic stomata were found, with a significant difference in stomatal index between tender and mature leaves.
The highest stomatal index percentage was observed on the abaxial surface of tender leaves.

Farsana et al. (2026) studied this question.
