Microfibril Angle in Wood and its Biological Significance : Just an Introduction
- What is it?
- The microfibrils are highly ordered bundles of cellulose chains (the crystal modulus along fiber axis is greater than 100 GPa) that give strength and stiffness to the cell wall.
- The microfibrils in the middle layer of the secondary wall S2 (approx. 80% of the thickness) form a right-handed spiral which makes an angle with the cell axis called the microfibril angle, MFA.
- The MFAs were generally found to be larger in the lower and basal parts of a branch
