Phloem Exudation from Monocotyledonous Axes

  • Chapter
Book cover Transport in Plants I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 1))

Abstract

The peculiarity of some groups of woody monocotyledons of producing sugar-rich exudates after wounding of certain stem tissues has been known from time immemorial to the populations of tropical areas all over the world. They made use of this property and often set up local industries for the production of sugar and alcoholic beverages. Such is the use in Asia of palms of the genera Arenga, Borassus, Caryota, Cocos, Corypha, Nypa and Phoenix, in Africa of Elaeis and Raphia and in South America of Copernicia, Jubaea and Mauritia. The only other monocotyledonous plant group outside the family of the Palmae known to be thus utilized is the genus Agave (Agavaceae), while also at least one species of the genus Yucca—also belonging to the Agavaceae, namely Y. flaccida Haw.—produces a similar juice experimentally.
