Abstract: 【Objective】 The development of flax bast cells is separated into two non-overlapping phases, cell elongation and secondary cell wall thickening phases which are splitted by the snap point at rapid-growing phase. Genes of β-glycosyl hydrolyse (LuBGALs) family and Cellulose synthase (LuCESAs) family focused on the role of cell wall formation in flax (Linum usitatissimum) fibres were analyzed in order to gain a deeper insight into the development of cell walls in rapid growth of flax.【Method】The microstructure of the cell walls at snap point (SP) of stem was studied by transmission electron microscope. LuBGALs and LuCESAs were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in the bast fiber of stem, leaves and root of flax at 45 days after germination. 【Result】The width of cell walls at top of SP (TOP) was 110 nm. Though they at MID were about 500 nm and BOT about 650 nm under the SP were thicker than theirs in TOP, it was difficult to find different layers in the thicken cell wall. It showed that the cell walls above the SP were undergone cell elongation and below were thickening but not secondary cell walls thickening. The expression of LuBGAL1 at TOP was significantly lower than it’s in MID and BOT, indicating that it was mainly involved in cell wall thickening of fiber cell in the stem. While the expressions of LuBGAL3, LuBGAL6, and LuBGAL9 at TOP were the highest and the followed was MID zone, which showed that those genes mainly worked in cell wall reconstructure and bast fiber elongation. LuBGAL5 was higher at TOP and lower at MID than other genes, which demonstrated that LuBGAL5 played a role in cell wall formation. And the expression of other BGALs genes were low. LuCESA1, LuCESA3, LuCESA7, LuCESA8, LuCESA9, and LuCESA10 highly expressed in TOP zone and were significantly higher than their expression in MID and BOT. The expression of LuCESA3 and LuCESA10 in MID was lower than theirs in BOT and there was no significant difference between MID and BOT of other CESAs genes. The results suggested that these CESA genes played an important role in cell elongation of flax bast fiber combining their expression in different organs. The character of LuSuSy expression indicated that a lot of UDPG was required in cell elongation and thickening of bast fiber. LuXTH4 played a role in cell wall development of flax.【Conclusion】The cell walls of bast fiber had not processed secondary thickening in the stem at fast growth stage. LuBGAL3, LuBGAL5, LuBGAL6, LuBGAL9, LuCESA1, LuCESA3, LuCESA9, and LuCESA10 mainly promoted cell elongation of cell wall in flax. LuBGAL1 played an important role in cell wall thickening. LuSuSy and LuXTH4 also took part in the development of cell wall.
