The cotton fibre is a tubular outgrowth of an epidermal cell of the cotton seed. The long outgrowth is known as staple or lint. It has a four‐layered cell wall: the cuticle, the primary wall and the secondary wall, the first layer of which has recently been distinguished from subsequent layers as ‘the winding’. A fifth layer, bordering the lumen, may possibly be differentiated. The cuticle is usually a characteristic of cells which are exposed to air during some stage of their life cycle; in the cotton fibre it is a mixture of fats, waxes and resins which are released at the surface of the cell during maturation. . . . #fibre #industry #crop #production #agventure007 #agriculturist #harvest (at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKZEJmnf9G/?igshid=j7qambpdld1r
