Abstract Understanding the assembly and spatial arrangement of bamboo cell wall components is crucial for its optimal
utilization. Bamboo cell walls consist of aggregates of cellulose microfibrils and matrix. In the present study, the
size and arrangement of cellulose microfibril aggregates in the cell walls of sclerenchyma fibers and parenchyma
cells in moso bamboo were investigated with NMR and FE-SEM. The NMR measurement showed that the characteristic sizes of the microfibril aggregates of fibers and parenchyma cells were approximately 25.8 nm and
18.8 nm, respectively. Furthermore, high-resolution SEM showed the size of microfibril aggregates varied little
across the cell wall of… More >
