TL;DR: This review presents a model of gelatinous-fibre organization and stresses the unique character of the gelatinous layer as a separate type of cell-wall layer, different from either primary or secondary wall layers.

TL;DR: The polysaccharide composition of the cell walls from various organs of the developing flax plant, from fiber-rich strips peeled from the stem, and from the xylem is determined to show the linkage structure and degree of branching of several of the noncellulosicpolysaccharides are invariant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of the developing stem of fiber flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) contains a specific region called the "snap point" where the fiber-enriched bast tissues considerably change their mechanical properties.

TL;DR: Various aspects of fiber development such as initiation, elongation, cell wall formation and multinuclearity are reviewed, discuss open questions and propose directions for further research.

TL;DR: Data indicate that high molecular-mass gelatinous galactans accumulate in specialised Golgi-derived vesicles during fibre cell-wall thickening, which leads to a hypothesis that firstly the secretion of soluble galactan plays a role in the axial orientation of cellulose microfibrils, and secondly the remodelling and cross-linking of pectic Galactans are linked to the dehydration and the assembly of S2 layer.
