Trichome stalk elongation in capitate trichomes of cannabis genotype MD. a Early development of a stalk arising from extension of the epidermal cells of the bract tissue (arrow). b A ring of six raised epidermal cells demarks the early initiation of the stalk. c The elongation of the stalk occurs by expansion and upward growth (arrow) of the epidermal cell layer as seen in this longitudinal section through a stalk. d, e Longitudinal sectional view of a fully formed stalk on a capitate trichome showing the involvement of epidermal and hypodermal cells to form the stalk. f Cross-sectional view of a stalk showing the organization of the six cells. The interior of the cells can be seen (arrow)
