Abstract
Glandular-secreting trichomes (GSTs) are factories for bioactive compounds for defense and for use in medicine. Increasing GST density and metabolic activity are crucial strategies to enhance the production of these natural products. Recent research highlights that MYC genes mediate the trade-off between GST development and metabolic processes, thereby potentially maximizing the yield of high-value compounds.
