In Moso bamboo, the mechanism of long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon-derived long non-coding RNA (TElncRNA) in response to cold stress remains unclear. In this study, several were identified from Moso bamboo transcriptome data. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of a novel in Moso bamboo seedlings reached its highest level at 8 hours of cold treatment at 4 °C and was significantly higher in the stems compared to the leaves, roots, and buds. Furthermore, cellular localization analysis revealed that expression was significantly higher in the cytoplasm than in the nucleus. overexpression in Moso bamboo protoplasts showed that positively regulated the expression of , , and genes. Further validation of this lncRNA in enhanced antioxidant activities, as evidenced by increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and proline content, as well as maximum photochemical efficiency PS II in dark-adapted leaves ( / ), in the transgenic plants compared to the wild-type controls. Conversely, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, a lipid peroxidation marker (a marker of oxidative stress), was significantly reduced in the transgenic plants. Notably, the expression levels of both and the genes that were regulated by this lncRNA were upregulated in the transgenic plants after two days of cold stress treatment. These findings elucidate the critical role of LTR retrotransposon-derived lncRNAs in mediating cold stress responses in Moso bamboo.

Dirigent (DIR) proteins are key regulators of lignin and lignan biosynthesis and play critical roles in plant hormone responses, abiotic stress tolerance, and growth and development. This study identified and characterized 47 genes in Moso bamboo, classifying them into three groups. Phylogenetic and comparative analyses revealed strong evolutionary conservation, with the Moso bamboo genes being most closely related to those in rice and maize.

Moso bamboo forests are ecologically and economically important in China, but the effects of nitrogen addition on soil carbon dynamics and vegetation are underexplored. This study applied six nitrogen treatment levels in a monoculture Moso bamboo forest, collecting soil samples from 0 to 30 cm depth and understory vegetation data. The results showed that nitrogen addition significantly reduced stable carbon components, while particulate organic carbon (POC) increased, suggesting that excessive nitrogen may destabilize the soil carbon pool by accelerating SOC decomposition or reducing accumulation.

The development of lateral buds on the underground rhizome in bamboo is a major determinant of the yield of bamboo shoots. However, the regulating factors influencing this developmental process and the molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we found that treatment with the Cytokinin significantly increased the lateral bud outgrowth of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis).
