Ray traits significantly differ between juvenile wood and mature wood in Pinus massonia and Cunninghamia lanceolata. Juvenile wood generally has more rays, larger ray spacing and ray number, smaller ray height and shorter ray cells compared to mature wood. Positive correlations between ray parenchyma cell length and ray tracheid length, and negative correlations of ray number and ray spacing with uniseriate ray height were found. Axial tracheid cell wall thickness also correlated with ray spacing, ray number, and ray parenchyma cell length.
Ray traits affect secondary xylem development and wood properties. Pinus massonia and Cunninghamia lanceolata, commercially important timber species, were chosen to study the differences in wood ray traits of juvenile versus mature wood. Seven ray traits, i.e., percentage of rays, ray spacing, ray number, uniseriate ray height, fusiform ray height, ray parenchyma cell length and ray tracheid length, as well as eight wood axial tissue traits, were investigated quantitatively. Intraspecific variations in ray traits and axial tissue traits between juvenile wood and mature wood were displayed in violin plots. The results showed that anatomical differences between juvenile wood and mature wood were significant for both ray traits and axial tissue traits. Juvenile wood generally possessed the larger percentage of rays, higher ray spacing and ray number, smaller ray height and shorter ray cells than mature wood. A positive correlation was present between the ray parenchyma cell length and ray tracheid length. Negative correlations of the ray number and ray spacing with uniseriate ray height were found. Additionally, the axial tracheid cell wall thickness all had Pearson's correlations with ray spacing, ray number and ray parenchyma cell length.
