Secondary-cellulose deposition occurs after cessation of expansion of the primary wall. Layers of the secondary wall, in contrast to the primary wall, display a very orderly, parallel arrangement of the microfibrils. In such plants as flax and hemp,1,2 bamboo,13 sisal,14-16 cotton hairs,2 and pine tracheids,13 three main layers can be detected in the secondary wall, each made up of cellulose microfibrils arranged in a helical fashion around the cell, In each of these secondary walls, the middle layer of cellulose is considerably thicker than the cellulose layers on each side of it, with a helical direction opposed to those of the latter. It is probable that each of these three layers is, in fact, complex, and made from a number of lamellae, each with its own helix of cellulose microfibrils.1 2...
