Stalked Resin Glands
Stalked resin glands, or glandular trichomes with a visible stalk or peduncle, are a key morphological feature in cannabis plant structure. These specialized cells sit atop a multicellular base and accumulate cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids in their bulbous head. Stalked glands are most abundant on flowers and upper leaves, distinguishing them from sessile (stalkless) and capitate-sessile variants. Lineage records and breeding documentation frequently reference stalk morphology as a marker for resin production potential and plant maturity. Understanding trichome architecture remains central to cannabis genetics research and seed-breeding programs focused on resin phenotype expression.

Breeders working in trichome-focused selection programs use stalked gland density and size as visual indicators when scouting for high-resin parents. Trichome stalk length and head diameter variation across cultivar families provides measurable data for controlled crossing strategies aimed at stable resin-production traits.
