Fiber softness is established by remodeling the original wall layer

This stage is essential for developing long-lasting material for the likes of, say, a t-shirt.The garment’s capacity to withstand years of washing and wear is largely determined by the density of that secondary cell wall.On the other hand,its softness is strongly influenced by the length of the fiber,established with the remodeling of the primary wall layer.Finally, after about 50 days, the fiber is fully grown.
