The Hibiscus sabdariffa var. UMKL (Roselle) investigated here may potentially be used as an alternative fibre source. To the best of our knowledge, there was no study focusing on the genetics underlying the cellulose biosynthesis machinery in Roselle thus far. This paper presents the results of the...
