Many of the species belonging to the Lamiaceae family are considered aromatic
plants due to the presence of glandular trichomes, which have a distinct ability
to synthesize, secrete or store large amounts of specialized metabolites that
play a crucial role in mediating the plant–environment interactions. These
compounds often have marked bioactive properties, rendering a commercial
value to the plants that produce them. A number of biological effects have
been associated with the main monoterpenoids detected in investigated
Micromeria spp. and Clinopodium spp. essential oils. One alternative for the
production of these bioactive metabolites is in vitro plant tissue culture. The
present study was initiated to investigate the effects of in vitro culture on
the secretion of leaf glandular trichomes, the main structures involved in the
essential oil production. The glandular indumentum was studied by means of
light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy in an attempt to correlate
the phytochemical traits with the glandular trichome morphotypes of selected
Lamiaceae species.
