Abstract excerpt
Plant trichomes are an excellent model for studying cell differentiation and development, providing crucial defenses against biotic and abiotic stresses. There is a well-established inverse relationship between trichome density and aphid prevalence, indicating that higher trichome density leads to reduced aphid infestations. Here we present the cloning and characterization of a dominant quantitative trait locus,...
