 The researchers found that the number of Capitati trichomes on the upper and lower BRAC surfaces differed between the two genotypes selected for study. Additionally, the stalk length of these trichomes was greater in one genotype than the other. Furthermore, the researchers noted that the trichomes became more mature with time, with some becoming brown and losing their fluorescent properties. Finally, they observed that the trichomes could be affected by post, harvest handling, and drying, leading to changes in morphology. This article was authored by Sami K. Panja, Garen B.
