fiber-development
Fiber development in plants refers to the biological processes governing the growth, elongation, and maturation of specialized cells that produce structural fibers within plant tissues. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for plant science, as it reveals how plants regulate cell wall composition, cellulose biosynthesis, and cytoskeletal organization during development. This research has broad implications for improving crop quality, biomass production, and the engineering of plants with enhanced fiber traits for agricultural and industrial applications.
