Abstract

Lignification provides strength to cells with secondary cell walls, such as fibers and water-conducting tracheary elements. In this study, the timing of lignification was examined using autoradiography, and targeted knockdown of lignin biosynthesis indicated that fibers undergo cell autonomous lignifications, while neighboring nonlignified cells can contribute to xylem cell lignification.
