The draft genome of the fast-growing non-timber forest species moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla).

Bamboo represents the only major lineage of grasses that is native to forests and is one of the most important non-timber forest products in the world. However, no species in the Bambusoideae subfamily has been sequenced. Here, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of moso bamboo (P.
