Abstrakt: Glandular trichomes (GTs) are one of the epidermal tissues of medicinal plants which function in the synthesis, storage, and secretion of secondary metabolites. The active ingredients of Chinese medicinal materials are mostly secondary metabolites of plants. Accordingly, it is of great research value to explore the quality of medicinal materials using the GTs of medicinal plants as the starting point. However, most of the current studies on GTs of medicinal plants are still at the simple morphological identification stage, and there are few studies on the compounds secreted by GTs and secondary metabolic processes. Here, we reviewed the literature, summarized the morphological types of medicinal plant GTs, separation and purification technology, analysis technology, and biological activities of secondary metabolites, and established a research approach to medicinal plant GTs. We hope to provide a reference for future research on GT inclusions and secondary metabolism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
