TL;DR: Cumulatively, the data show that the xylem of arabidopsis provides the best model for secondary wall cellulose synthesis in cotton fiber and CesA genes within a "cell wall toolbox" are used in diverse ways for the construction of particular specialized cell walls. (via Semantic Scholar)

TL;DR: The monosaccharide analysis and positive staining with ruthenium red indicates that the walls also contain a large portion of pectin, which suggests that the polysaccharides of the trichome cell walls are more like those of typical primary walls even though the wall becomes quite thick.
