Key Stages of Flax Bast Fiber Development Through the Prism of Transcriptomics
Transcriptome profiling is a powerful modern tool for investigating biological processes in depth. Based on genome-wide RNA-Seq data obtained for bast fibers and other tissues of growing flax plants, we charac...

Expression of cellulose synthase-like genes in two phenotypically distinct flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) subspecies
Cellulose synthase-like (CSL) genes encode glycosyltransferases thought to be involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall non-cellulosic polysaccharides; however, the exact function is not established yet for many ...

Open AccessTranscriptome Analysis of Intrusively Growing Flax Fibers Isolated by Laser Microdissection
The intrusive growth, a type of plant cell elongation occurring in the depths of plant tissues, is characterized by the invasion of a growing cell between its neighbours due to a higher rate of elongation. In ...

Plants at Bodybuilding: Development of Plant “Muscles”
Plant fibers are the important elements to shape the mechanical properties of plant body, especially in the organs that have already ceased elongation. The major distinguishing parameters of fibers are a highl...

Transcriptome portrait of cellulose-enriched flax fibres at advanced stage of specialization
Functional specialization of cells is among the most fundamental processes of higher organism ontogenesis. The major obstacle to studying this phenomenon in plants is the difficulty of isolating certain types ...
