Russian Journal of Developmental Biology, 2007
The fiber (in terms of plant biology) is an individual cells characterized by spindle shape, length of up to several centimeters, well developed cell wall, and mechanical function. The review summarizes different, sometimes contradictory view points about duration, segregation and mechanisms of realization of individual stages of fiber biogenesis ...

Methods for characterizing plant fibers
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2005AbstractThe effectiveness of different microscopy techniques for measuring the dimensions of ultimate fibers from harakeke (Phormium tenax, New Zealand flax) was investigated using a factorial experimental design. Constant variables were geographical location, location of specimens along the leaf, season (winter), individual plant, a fourth leaf from a

Antitoxic effects of plant fiber
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1974An extensive series of studies have been conducted during the past 20 years indicating the beneficial effects of alfalfa and other plant fiber-containing materials in counteracting the toxic effects of a number of drugs, chemicals, and food additives when administered at high doses to animals fed highly purified, low-fiber diets (1-9).

Plant Fiber and Blood Pressure
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1983Vegetarians and other persons with high fiber intakes have lower average blood pressures than persons with low fiber intakes. We assessed blood pressures in 12 nonobese, insulin-treated, diabetic men on control diets and high carbohydrate and fiber (HCF) diets. The control diets provided 20 g/d of plant fiber, whereas the HCF diets provided 65 g/d. The

Fiber cells are present in all plants with varied shape, sizes, and composition. Fiber crops are source of commercially exploited fibers since beginning of civilization and fiber/fabric consumption is used as indicator of civilization of society. Much of the need of rural populations for fiber is met with material harvested from wild.

Plant Fiber Intake in the Pediatric Diet
Pediatrics, 1982The report of the Committee on Nutrition1 on the above topic, is to be commended for its balanced approach, deliberations, and conclusions. High fiber diets were consumed ubiquitously by our ancestors of scarce a century ago, and are still consumed by many rural dwellers in Europe, and of course by the huge majority of Third World ...

Plant fiber. Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1979Plant fibers are the portions of plant foods that are not digested in the human small intestine. During this century, remarkable advances have been made in defining the characteristics and importance of most nutrients such as carbohydrate, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Evolution of fiber in the residential loop plant
IEEE Communications Magazine, 1991The current status of fiber in the subscriber loop in the U S is reviewed. Efforts to promote a standardized approach are briefly examined. Issues involved in powering the distributed optoelectronic curbside terminals, designated optical network units (ONUs), adding video capability when, where, and as needed, and developing strategies for evolving ...

Plant fibers and wasted fiber/epoxy green composites
Composites Part B: Engineering, 2012Abstract In this study, the plant and waste fibers (pineapple leaf fiber, banana fiber and recycled disposable chopstick fiber) with an average length from 2.3 to 3.9 mm were chemically modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (A1100). Subsequently, these modified fibers (20 wt.%) and epoxy resin were mixed and cured to form novel fiber-reinforced ...
