Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and / or release of secondary metabolites in plants. They can occur as individualized cells or multicellular structures of different types and functions, recorded in almost all parts of the plant body. They exhibit great morphological and chemical diversity, and important roles in the interaction of the plant with the elem…
Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and / or release of special metabolites in plants. They occur as individualized cells or as multicellular structures of varying forms in almost every part of the plant body. They are a prominent subject in Botany, because they exhibit great morphological and chemical diversity, and play an important role in plant-animal an…

Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and/or release of secondary metabolites in plant species, and are of immense importance in chemistry and biology due to their applications in various areas of scientific knowledge. The laticifer is an example of a secretory structure, characterized by a complex latex secretion system. Latex is a suspension of secondary met…
Ficus is the largest genus of Moraceae and has peculiar inflorescences called figs or syconia. Figs are pollinated by Agaonidae female fig wasps that enter into the syconium to lay their eggs. This nursery pollination system is one of the most-studied of tropical mutualism interactions. Recent studies show a diversity of glands in the syconium, such as trichomes and secretory idioblasts, …

Laticifers are secretory structures responsible for latex production, widely present in species of the Moraceae family. The latex is a key component in plant defense mechanisms, by containing a range of chemical compounds that deter herbivores and parasites. The growth patterns and tri-dimensional distribution of laticifers, as well as the specific plant tissues in which they are present …
The latex is a suspension of diverse molecules dispersed in a fluid with a differentiated refractive index. Considering the large number of latex-producing plant species and the diversity of the compounds present in this type of exudate, there is still a gap in the knowledge of the latex constituents in some families. In Moraceae, the presence of latex throughout the plant is considered t…
Calcium oxalate crystals are highly insoluble crystalline salt of oxalic acid and calcium, and occur in almost plant tissues. The morphology and spatial distribution of a crystal are conservative characters with a certain group, and can have taxonomic value, as seen in Melastomataceae. This family is recognized by lack of wall thickening in endothecial cells, the subepidermal layer of the…
