Text B

Some trees are wild, others are cloned.

It's easy to think that all trees of a species are alike. This is only true, however, of certain species. Most trees are wild-type trees, meaning that their genetic structures are as dissimilar as individual humans. An example of a wild-type is an elm.

Other trees have been cloned to produce many trees with identical genes. This is usually done to guarantee the presence of certain favourable characteristics of the tree. Examples include apple and pear trees.

This distinction is important when treating diseases. In a wild-type tree, each tree will react differently.

Trees can be divided into ring-porous or diffuse-porous types. This refers to the structure of the vascular system.

The vascular system of diffuse-porous trees (such as a birch) is characterized by vessels spread evenly throughout the sapwood. These vessels are produced regularly during the growing season.

The vessels of a ring-porous tree (such as an elm) are generally larger and concentrated in the outermost layer of sapwood. These vessels are produced early in the season.

This is significant because it affects a tree's susceptibility to vascular wilt diseases.
