I think the resin glands are epidermal structures, and their products in a 
periclinal chimera might be expected to be  those of the epidermal 
species, assuming that the resins are completely formed by  the glands that 
secrete them...  As for flowering, commercial hops are the unfertilized, 
strongly resinous/glandular, pistillate inflorescences of the female hops 
plant  (sound familiar?)

The experiment could be interesting,  but you didn't hear the idea from me, 
right?
