Multicellular trichomes in cucumber provides a model for elucidating cell diff erentiation. In this issue, Zhao et al. (pp. 925–935) studied a spontaneous micro‐trichome ( mict ) mutant with dense and poorly developed trichomes, and performed map‐based cloning of the Mict gene. Mict encodes a class I homeodomain‐leucine zipper protein and is expressed specifically in trichome cells.
