METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MODULATING TRICHOME DENSITY AND FLAVOR MOLECULE SECRETION
Glandular trichomes are epidermal outgrowths in plants that are the site of metabolic compound synthesis and storage. Modulating the secretion of metabolite compounds in tobacco and tea leaves can alter the taste profile in products made from these plants. The present disclosure relates to methods for modulating secretion from glandular trichomes and compositions comprising altered trichome secretion of metabolites.

HEAT-NOT-BURN (HNB) AEROSOL-GENERATING DEVICES WITH COMPRESSION ASSEMBLY
An aerosol-generating device includes a heating chamber structure, a heater coupled to the heating chamber structure, and a compression assembly. The heating chamber structure defines a fixed-volume enclosure and is configured to hold an aerosol-forming substrate within a first region of the enclosure. The heater is proximate to a first surface that at least partly defines the first region and is configured to generate heat that is transmitted into the first region to cause the aerosol-forming substrate to form an aerosol without any combustion. The compression assembly includes a compression plate and a compression actuator. The compression plate and the first surface define opposing boundaries of the first region. The compression actuator moves the compression plate through the enclosure to adjustably compress the aerosol-forming substrate in the first region against the first surface.
