Micromorphology, histochemical and confocal analyses of the trichomes of Satureja subspicata (Bartl. ex Vis.) were carried out using light microscopy, confocal laser scanning electron microscopy (CLSM), and scanning electron microscopy. Non-glandular unbranched and two types of glandular trichomes - peltate and capitate - are described. The results of histochemical tests showed a positive reaction to phenolics, tannins, lipids, acid lipids, pectins and polysaccharides in both types of glandular trichomes. A strong red autofluorescence of the lipophilic and hydrophilic secreted material in glandular trichomes was observed with CLSM.

Micromorphology, distribution, and histochemistry of the trichomes of Thymus lykae were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and confocal laser scanning electron microscopy (CLSM). The leaves, stem, and calyx bear numerous glandular and non-glandular trichomes. Two types of glandular trichomes are identified - peltate and capitate. Results of histochemical tests showed positive reactions to polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. Yellow autofluorescence of secreted material was noticed in peltate and capitate trichomes. Strong reddish-yellow autofluorescence of the lipophilic and hydrophilic secreted material was observed with CLSM.
