Overexpression of McMIXTA promotes the initation of peltate glandular trichomes in M. piperita leaves. A and B SEM observation of peltate glandular trichomes on abaxial side of WT and McMIXTA overexpression (MIXTAOx) M. piperita leaves, respectively. C Three relatively fixed visual fields per leaf were obtained to represent the average peltate glandular trichome density. D The peltate glandular trichomes on the abaxial side of leaves derived from WT and McMIXTA overexpression M. piperita leaves. E Density of peltate glandular trichomes on abaxial side of leaves derived from WT and McMIXTA overexpression plants
