Why were the cell stained on squash trichomes?
Cells in squash trichomes were stained to enhance visibility under a microscope, allowing for the observation of cellular structures and characteristics. Staining highlights specific components, such as cell walls or nuclei, making it easier to analyze the morphology and arrangement of cells. This technique is essential for studying plant anatomy and can provide insights into the function and development of trichomes.
What are the types of trichomes?
There are three main types of trichomes: glandular, non-glandular, and cystolithic. Glandular trichomes produce and store essential oils and resins, non-glandular trichomes serve protective functions, and cystolithic trichomes contain calcium carbonate crystals for defense.
