The application provides a method for observing glandular hairs of Ainsliaea sinensis by using a scanning electron microscope. The method comprises the following steps: (1) selecting a region to be measured in a leaf blade, cutting a sample, and immersing the sample in an aldehyde fixing solution for fixation and immersion; (2) performing gradient dehydration by using an ethanol solution, performing replacement by using isopentyl acetate, and then performing drying by using a critical point drying instrument; (3) removing non-glandular hairs by using adhesive tape; and (4) then spraying gold and observing under a scanning electron microscope. By using the method, the observation and distribution density statistics of the glandular hairs of Ainsliaea sinensis can be simply, efficiently and accurately completed. By using the method, the problem of uneven leaf blade is well solved, and the problem of non-glandular hairs shielding and interfering with the visual field is completely solved.

The present invention relates to polynucleotide comprising a lncRNA gene according to SEQ ID No: 2, or according to a sequence having at least 50% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 2, and an AP2c gene according to SEQ ID No: 3, or according to a sequence having at least 50% sequence identity to SEQ ID No: 3, which polynucleotide confers an increased density of type IV trichomes. The invention further relates to a plant comprising said polynucleotide and a SlASAT4 gene according to SEQ ID No. 21, or comprising a homologous sequence having at least 99.6% sequence identity to SEQ ID No. 21 wherein the presence of the polynucleotide leads to increased density of type IV trichomes and wherein the presence of said SlASAT4 gene leads to an increased ratio of S4:17 / S3:15 acyl sugars produced in glandular trichomes present on said plant when compared to a control plant lacking the polynucleotide and the SlASAT4 gene. Such a plant also was found to be resistant to Bemisia tabaci. The invention also discloses markers for the identification of the polynucleotide and the SlASAT4 gene and their use for the identification and development of Solanum lycopersicum plants. Also methods for identifying, producing and selecting of plants and seed are disclosed.

An electrostatic separation apparatus and method are provided for isolating glandular trichomes from trichome-bearing plant biomass such as cannabis, hemp, or hops. The system may include a vertically oriented particle transport assembly configured to convey a sample through a linear free-fall pathway, a separation chamber with opposing electrode assemblies generating a uniform electrostatic field, and discharge electrodes positioned below the chamber to neutralize residual charge. Airflow regulation may be achieved through laminar diffuser plates and periodic vibration of critical components, including the hopper and diffuser, to prevent clogging and maintain uniform flow. The hopper may further include a circular discharge spout and rounded internal fillets to prevent bridging and ensure consistent powder recirculation. The apparatus achieves high-purity trichome separation through controlled field exposure, aerodynamic stabilization, and charge-neutralized particle discharge, enabling continuous, high-throughput operation with improved yield, reduced maintenance, and enhanced reproducibility across successive processing cycles.
