Was curious if any botanists had information about the composition and analysis of the maple tree seeds or samara?
Googling has yielded little so far, though I did find an article published in 1918 by R. S. Anderson, and provided quite a bit, but I was also interested in enzyme contents, which his analysis did not provide any results.
His Results for the seeds from Acer saccharinum:
He does have results from the analysis of the ash and of the wings, but really interested in just the seed portion.
Any assistance is appreciated.
