Term Name: trichome patterning
Synonyms: trichome distribution, trichome pattern biosynthesis, trichome pattern formation, trichome pattern specification, trichome spacing
Definition: The regionalization process of establishing the non-random spatial arrangement of trichomes on the surface and margin of a leaf. Process involves signaling between adjacent epidermal cells that results in differentiation of some epidermal cells into trichomes.
