 ABSTRACT

Trichomes are hair-like structure that originated from aerial epidermis cells and are found in most plant species, trichomes exposed to various adverse conditions including gamma radiations and ultra violet radiations and herbivore attack insects and pests. Trichome initiation, formation, and development is regulated by some specific group of gene, transcription factors, promoters and cis-regulatory elements which performs as positive regulators, and negative regulators during trichome gene expression, external application of gamma radiations results in reduced or enhanced trichome numbers depending of doses and genotypes. Trichome growth and development is also effected by methylation, UV radiation and phosphorylation.

Key word: Trichome, Cis-regulatory elements, Gamma radiation, UV radiation, Methylation, and phosphorylation.
