Fig. 2From: Morphogenesis and cell wall composition of trichomes and their function in response to salt in halophyte Salsola ferganicaMorphological characteristics and some statistical indexes of trichomes on the leaves of S. ferganica. a–c ESEM images showing trichome development from initiation to maturation. d–f SEM images showing the microstructure of the trichome at the base, internode, and tip. g, h Statistical length and density of trichomes. ***: represents the significant difference (P < 0.05 or 0.01) between long and short trichomes. Values are means ± SD of at least nine replicates. L: leaf; T: trichomesBack to article page
