Accumulation of glycerol and other wax and suberin monomers during the development of green cotton fibers (mean values of two independent experiments). A, Accumulation of cell wall dry weight. Secondary wall deposition began at about 20 d after anthesis, as indicated by the increased rate of dry weight deposition. B, Accumulation of glycerol, hydroxycinnamic acids, and alkanoic acids in the wax fraction. C, Accumulation of glycerol, hydroxycinnamic acids, and alkanoic acids in the suberin fraction. dpa, Days postanthesis; HCA, hydroxycinnamic acids; Gly, glycerol; HAA, ω-hydroxyalkanoic acids; ADA, α,ω-alkanedioic acids.
