Morphological and Anatomical Analysis of the Internodes of a New Dwarf Variant of Moso Bamboo, f. .

The lack of mutants due to the long periods between flowering of bamboo plants is one of the limiting factors inhibiting research progress in the culm development of bamboo plants. In this study, a stable new dwarf variant of (Moso bamboo), f. , was discovered and was characterized morphologically, anatomically, and physiologically.

Rapid growth of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis): Cellular roadmaps, transcriptome dynamics, and environmental factors.

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) shows remarkably rapid growth (114.5 cm/day), but the underlying biological mechanisms remain unclear. After examining more than 12,750 internodes from more than 510 culms from 17 Moso populations, we identified internode 18 as a representative internode for rapid growth.

Histological, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses reveal mechanisms of cold acclimation of the Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) leaf.

The Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) leaf copes well with cold winters in southeastern China. However, until now, there has been almost no research on its adaptation mechanisms to cold weather. Herein, we found that the Moso bamboo leaf has evolved several anatomical structures that may play a role in enhancing its cold tolerance.

Genome-Wide Identification, Expansion, and Evolution Analysis of Homeobox Gene Family Reveals TALE Genes Important for Secondary Cell Wall Biosynthesis in Moso Bamboo ().

The TALE gene family is a subfamily of the homeobox gene family and has been implicated in regulating plant secondary growth. However, reports about the evolutionary history and function of the gene family in bamboo are limited. Here, the homeobox gene families of moso bamboo and were identified and compared.
