Fig 2. Purification of glandular trichome heads and glandular trichome stalks from a heterogenous mix of C. sativa flower epidermal tissues.

[A] Heterogenous mix of epidermal tissues separated by percoll gradient centrifugation. [B] Glandular trichome heads collected at the interphase of the 0% and 30% Percoll boundary and [C] glandular trichome stalks collected at the interphase of the 30% and 45% Percoll boundary. Purity estimates for [D] glandular trichome head fraction and [E] glandular trichome stalk fraction. Boxplots for percent (%) head and stalk counts for each fraction are shown based on image analysis. N = 10.
