Plant glandular trichomes (GTs) are adaptive epidermal structures that synthesize and accumulate diverse specialized metabolites well-known as defense chemicals against biotic attacks, but their roles against abiotic challenges including UV radiation and cold climates remain largely unexplored. Colquhounia vestita Wall is a Chinese-Himalayan Lamiaceae plant with dense peltate and capitate GTs on its leaf and stem surfaces under a scanning electron microscope. Three diterpenoid acids, including a clerodane 5-epi-hardwickiic acid and two labdanes polyalthic acid and E-communic acid, were identified from the peltate GTs of C. vestita through laser microdissection coupled with UPLC-MS/MS. Under UV radiation and cold stresses, the major GT component polyalthic acid increased the biomass of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and decreased their malondialdehyde content. Furthermore, polyalthic acid promoted photosynthetic efficiency and the expression of genes encoding peroxidative enzymes under UV radiation, and stimulated Ca2+ elevation and the expression of calmodulin binding transcription activator gene CAMTA3 and two downstream cold-responsive genes CBF3 and RD29A under cold stress. Therefore, polyalthic acid in GTs is likely to endow the plant with enhanced tolerance to UV radiation and cold stresses, which extends the current understanding of the function of GT compounds in plant adaptation to abiotic environments.
