Abstract
The anatomy was studied of the sugar-storing tissue of nine sugar-cane clones known to differ in their rates of sucrose uptake in vitro . Clones having a high rate of sucrose uptake tended to have smaller cells, thicker cell walls and more vascular bundles than clones having lower rates of sucrose uptake and these differences in anatomy resulted in the high uptake clones having storage tissue with a higher percentage of fibre than that of the low uptake clones. The findings are discussed in relation to known associations between sugars and fibre and between sugars and the ratio of leaf weight to weight of node plus internode.
