(a) The stalked glandular trichome of cannabis consists of a globose head which protrudes from the epidermal surface via a multicellular stalk. The head region contains several secretory disc cells that produce and store specialised metabolites such as cannabinoids and terpenes. (b) The opium poppy capsule wall contains an extensively branched network of companion cells, sieve elements and laticifers where latex exclusively occurs. Latex represents the site of alkaloid accumulation in poppies.
Site of specialised metabolites synthesis, accumulation and storage in Cannabis sativa and Papaver somniferum (opium poppy).
