20 results about "Trichome" patented technology

Trichomes (/ˈtraɪkoʊmz/ or /ˈtrɪkoʊmz/), from the Greek τρίχωμα (trichōma) meaning "hair", are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants, algae, lichens, and certain protists. They are of diverse structure and function. Examples are hairs, glandular hairs, scales, and papillae. A covering of any kind of hair on a plant is an indumentum, and the surface bearing them is said to be pubescent.

Application of cucumber CsLSGT gene as target spot in regulation and control of formation of silicification layer on fruit gland hair surface

The invention discloses an application of a cucumber CsLSGT gene as a target spot in regulating formation of a silicification layer on the surface of a fruit gland hair. The formation of the silicification layer on the surface of the cucumber gland hair is reduced by reducing the expression quantity of the CsLSGT gene. It is found through screening that the cucumber CsLSGT gene is related to formation of a silicification layer on the cucumber fruit gland hair surface. In a cucumber mutant, the silicon element content of fruit glandular hair is obviously reduced compared with that of a wild type '649'. Meanwhile, a grafting experiment shows that the function of the CsLSGT gene depends on the overground part, which indicates that the reduction of the silicon element on the surface of the glandular hair is mediated by an overground part factor. The gene can be used for screening cucumber fruits with few silicon elements and improving the commodity quality traits of the cucumber fruits.

A plant trichome isolation apparatus

This invention relates to the field of trichome separation equipment technology, and more particularly to a plant trichome separation device. The technical solution includes a box, a fixing frame, and a separation assembly. An inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the box, extending into the interior of the box. A recycling bin is slidably installed on one side of the bottom of the box. This invention uses a hollow, cone-like roller structure to tumble the plants, allowing them to roll and separate internally while gradually moving to one side. After separation, the plants automatically move to the waste bin for discharge, preventing the accumulation of large amounts of plant material from affecting subsequent separation. Furthermore, by adjusting the roller's rotation speed, the separation effect of the trichomes can be adjusted through centrifugal force. By introducing high-pressure gas or refrigerant into the plastic film and mounting base, the plastic film expands, opening the cone-shaped roller to contact the plants, increasing the friction on the plant surface, thereby promoting efficient trichome separation.

Application of mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene in regulating plant cuticle thickness

The present application relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to application of mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and mitochondrial GPAT2 gene in regulating plant cuticle thickness. The present application firstly finds that the mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and the mitochondrial GPAT2 gene have the functions of regulating plant cuticle thickness, trichome quantity, water metabolism and drought resistance. When the mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and the mitochondrial GPAT2 gene are deleted, the synthesis of cutin monomers is blocked, the cuticle of the Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1gpat2 is thinner than that of the wild type Arabidopsis thaliana, the structure of the cuticle is damaged, the trichome development is blocked, and the water loss rate of the Arabidopsis thaliana double mutant gpat1gpat2 seedling is lower than that of the wild type Arabidopsis thaliana. It can be seen that the mitochondrial GPAT1 gene and the mitochondrial GPAT2 gene can be used for regulating plant cuticle thickness, trichome quantity, water metabolism and drought resistance.
