fiber-crops
Fiber crops are agricultural plants cultivated primarily for the cellulose-rich fibers extracted from their stems, leaves, or seed coverings, used in textiles, paper, and rope production. Understanding the biology of fiber development in these plants is central to plant science research, as it involves complex processes of cell wall biosynthesis, lignification, and cellulose deposition. Advances in this field have implications not only for improving crop yield and fiber quality but also for engineering novel biomaterials and sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibers.
