Growth parameters and esterase isoenzyme patterns were studied in developing cotton fibre. Fibre length and dry weight when plotted against boll age showed four distinct stages; (i) initiation, (ii) elongation, (iii) secondary thickening, and (iv) maturation. Stage specificity and changing intensities of esterase isoenzyme suggested a finely modulated control of gene expression during fibre development.
