What Are Bulbous Trichomes?

BULBOUS TRICHOMES

Ever heard of them?!

Bulbous trichomes are tiny structures found in some plant leaves and stems. They produce and store important compounds such as terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids. Named for their bulb-like shape, they serve as the plant's defence against herbivores and play a crucial role in the plants defence. Their production and composition can vary greatly within and between species and are a subject of ongoing research. Bulbous trichomes also have potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and horticulture.
