Abstract
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) phloem fiber elongation is separate from secondary cell wall formation. The indicator for the developmental transition is the manually determinable “snap point”. Sharp increase in the mechanical strength at certain level of flax stem. It helped to characterize fiber-specific and stage-specific processes: soluble galactan turnover (revealed in pulse-chase experiments), specialized Golgi vesicle accumulation, and cell wall postsynthetic modification.Keywords
