Abstract
Trichomes in Arabidopsis are single-celled hairs that develop from epi dermal cells regularly distributed on leaves, sepals and stems. Tricho me formation in Arabidopsis is emerging as a genetic and molecular mod el system for the analysis of the spatial regulation of cell type spec ification in plants. In this review we focus on two aspects of trichom e initiation: the regulation of organ and tissue layer specificity and the establishment of an epidermal spacing pattern.
