Talk:Plant sap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does not sap carry eg. hormones as well? What about oxygen or CO2? What about the difference between ascending and descending sap?

[edit] Relation to Latex?
I'm still a botany newbie, but is latex the same as sap? See the link put on the Talk:Latex page If someone who knows could clear this up and mention the differences or merge that'll be real good..
Perhaps the botanical stuff can be put here, and the latex article be mainly about the latex material
- No, sap, latex and resin are all different substances, and shouldn't be together on the same page.
[edit] Ambiguity
Maple tree sap is the basic ingredient in maple syrup. The sap of the rubber tree is used to make latex, which is vulcanized to make rubber. Spruce Gum is another tree sap that was used by Anishinaabe peoples in Canada for small quick repairs to wood articles. The sap was collected and used in its raw form. Chewed, it makes a good emergency deep woods survival food. Is that last sentence in reference to spruce gum sap, or to all sap? -Maelin 10:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page title
All plants have sap, not just trees. If there's no objections, I'm moving this page to sap (plant) or plant sap in a day or two. - MPF 21:04, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
