Transcriptomic profiling of hemp bast fibres at different developmental stages [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Bast fibres are long extraxylary cells which mechanically support the phloem and they are divided into xylan- and gelatinous-type, depending on the composition of their secondary cell walls.

A flax fibre proteome: identification of proteins enriched in bast fibres [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2008 Background Bast fibres from the phloem tissues of flax are scientifically interesting and economically useful due in part to a dynamic system of secondary cell wall deposition.

The sequential microbial breakdown of pectin is the principal incident during water retting of jute (Corchorus spp.) bast fibres [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyThe extraction of bast fibres such as jute from plant stems involves the removal of pectin, hemicellulose, and other noncellulosic materials through a complex microbial community.

Impact of Silicon in Plant Biomass Production: Focus on Bast Fibres, Hypotheses, and Perspectives
Plants, 2017 Silicon (Si) is an abundant element which, when supplied to plants, confers increased vigor and resistance to exogenous stresses, as well as enhanced stem mechanical strength.

The morphological and anatomical variability of the stems of an industrial hemp collection and the properties of its fibres [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is identified as a leading fibre crop and there is increasing interest in C. sativa fibre due to its new range of industrial applications. However, the complexity of hemp germplasm resulted in insufficient information

Bast fibre content, fibre yield and fibre quality of different linseed genotypes
Agricultural and Food Science, 2008 Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) grown for seed does not compete well with flax in fibre yield, but as a by-product of seed production its stems could be used in non-woven products.

A Bio-Inspired Approach to Improve the Toughness of Brittle Bast Fibre-Reinforced Composites Using Cellulose Acetate Foils [PDF]
BiomimeticsBast fibre-reinforced plastics are characterised by good strength and stiffness but are often brittle due to the stiff and less ductile fibres. This study uses a biomimetic approach to improve impact strength.

Genome-wide analysis of the laccase gene family in tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius): insights into stem development, lignification, and responses to abiotic stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceTossa jute (Corchorus olitorius) dominates global jute cultivation but has a high lignin content (13-14%) in its fibres, making them coarse and limiting their industrial applications.
