BACKGROUND
The fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins (FLAs) belong to the arabinogalactan protein (AGP) superfamily and are known to play different physiological roles in plants. This class of proteins was shown to participate in plant growth, development, defense against abiotic stresses and,
A study of stem anatomy and the sclerenchyma fibre cells associated with the phloem tissues of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) plants is of interest for both understanding the formation of secondary cell walls and for the enhancement of fibre utility as industrial fibres and textiles. Using a range of
The mechanisms underlying bast fibre differentiation in hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) are largely unknown. We hybridised a cDNA microarray with RNA from fibre enriched tissues extracted at three different positions along the stem axis. Accordingly, we identified transcripts that were enriched in tissues
