Cotton fiber is an important natural textile fiber due to its exceptional length and thickness.
These properties arise largely through primary and secondary cell wall synthesis. The cotton …

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) provides the world's dominant renewable textile fiber, and
cotton fiber is valued as a research model because of its extensive elongation and …

Although the fibers of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) are single cells with a secondary wall
composed primarily of cellulose, the cell-wall polymers of the fibers are technically difficult to …

The roles of non-cellulosic polysaccharides in cotton fiber development are poorly
understood. Combining glycan microarrays and in situ analyses with monoclonal antibodies …

Cotton fibers arise through highly anisotropic expansion of a single seed epidermal cell. We
obtained evidence that apical cell wall synthesis occurs through examining the tips of young …

Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum L.) fiber development consists of a fiber elongation stage (up
to 20 d post-anthesis) and a subsequent cell wall thickening stage. Cell wall analysis …

Pectin, a major component of the primary cell walls of dicot plants, is synthesized in Golgi,
secreted into the wall as methylesters and subsequently de-esterified by pectin …

Two cotton cultivars TX19 and TX55 (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv.) were planted in the
greenhouse and fibers were harvested at different stages of development. The percentage …

There is a continuous change in cell wall composition and organization during cotton fiber
development. Cotton fiber strength correlates to the molecular weight (MW) and molecular …

Cotton fiber developmental transition from elongation to secondary cell wall biosynthesis is
a critical growth shifting phase that affects fiber final length, strength, and other properties …
