in all organisms. The similar X-ray diffraction diagrams of ramie and other fibrous celluloses support this. The subtle differences in the structures of different celluloses may, however, never be fully characterized. The only hope lies in the refinement with electron diffraction data, provided that a significant increase in the amount of data can be realized.Acknowledgment.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
