Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells that play crucial roles in resisting environmental stress and enhancing plant development. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the main genes controlling trichome formation have been consecutively identified. However, few genes like this were reported in rice. In this study, we identified the hairy phenotype of indica variety 75-1-127. This was used to construct a segregation population with a cross of hairless variety Minghui63 (MH63) to fine map the trichome formation genes. Genetic analysis indicated that hairy phenotype was controlled by a pair of dominant genes on chromosome 6, which was designated as GLABRA6 (OsGL6). OsGL6 was an allele of HL6 gene whose sequences containing rich variations in genomes. Compared to wild type, the overexpressing transgenic lines revealed that OsGL6 promoted trichome initiation. We found that OsGL6 interacted with serine/threonine protein kinase OSK3 (OSK3) or COP9 signalosome complex subunit 5a (CSN5) in yeast. These results provide potential information for understanding the molecular mechanism of trichome formation in rice.

In plants, cell fate determination is regulated temporally and spatially via a complex of signals consisting of a large number of genetic interactions. Trichome and root hair formation are excellent models for studying cell fate determination in plants. Nowadays, the mysteries underlying the reprograming of trichome and root hair and how nature programs the development of trichome and root hair is an interesting topic in the scientific field.

Inspired by the ultrafast directional water transport structure of Sarracenia trichomes, hierarchical textured surfaces with specific microgrooves were prepared based on laser processing combined with dip modification, in response to the growing problem of freshwater scarcity. The prepared surfaces were tested for droplet transport behavior to investigate the relationship between the surface structure and the driving force of directional water transport and their effects on the water transport distance and water transport velocity. The results showed that surfaces with a superhydrophobic background associated channels of multirib structures, and a dual-gradient surface of gradient hydrophobic background associated channels with gradient structure performed the best in terms of water transport efficiency.

The (bladderworts) species are carnivorous plants that prey mainly on invertebrates using traps (bladders) of leaf origin. On the outer surfaces of the trap, there are dome-shaped glands (capitate trichomes). Each such trichome consists of a basal cell, a pedestal cell, and a terminal cell.

Mutations in the CsEMS1 gene result in male sterility and reduced wart number and density. Male sterility and fruit wart formation are two significant agronomic characteristics in cucumber (Cucumis sativus), yet knowledge of our underlying genetics is limited. In this study, we identified an EMS-induced male sterility and few small warts mutant (msfsw).
