phyllostachys rivalis/atrophy

The photodegradation process of bamboo involves very complex chemical reactions. In the present study, surface deterioration of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel) was carried out by a xenon fade meter which can simulate sunlight irradiation, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Ty3-gypsy long-terminal repeat retroelements are ubiquitously found in many plant genomes. This study reports the occurrence of heterogeneous Ty3-gypsy retroelements in four representative bamboo species: Phyllostachys heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. pubescens, P. heterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv.

Bamboo is an important member of the family Poaceae and has many inflorescence and flowering features rarely observed in other plant groups. It retains an unusual form of perennialism by having a long vegetative phase that can extend up to 120 years, followed by flowering and death of the plants. In
