Ray Tissues as an Indirect Measure of Relative Sap-sugar Concentration in Sugar Maple

By Peter W. Garrett, Kenneth R. Dudzik

Preview available

S2Attempts to correlate ray tissue as a percentage of total wood volume with sap sugar concentrations of sugar maple progenies were unsuccessful. These results raise doubts about our ability to use a relatively constant value such as ray-tissue volume in a selection program designed to increase the sap-sugar concentration of sugar maple seedlings.
