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 510 culms 17 populations, we identified internode 18 as a representative for growth. This includes 2-cm cell division zone (DZ), elongation up to 12 cm, and secondary wall (SCW) thickening zone. These zones elongated 11.8 produced approximately 570,000,000 cells, deposited ∼28 mg g-1 dry weight (DW) lignin...

Summary The primary thickening growth of Moso ( Phyllostachys edulis ) underground shoots largely determines the culm circumference. However, its developmental mechanisms remain unknown. Using an integrated anatomy, mathematics and genomics approach, we systematically studied cellular molecular underlying shoots. We discovered that displayed a spiral pattern pith played important role in promoting process driving evolution culms with different sizes among bamboo species. Different model...

The bamboo shoot is a crucial component of forest economy. Previous studies have demonstrated that rapid lignification occurs during the postharvest storage shoots. However, mechanism underlying after harvesting remains unclear. To explore this phenomenon in Moso (Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J. Houz.) shoots, we employed morphological, cytological, lignin content determination, and transcriptomic analysis methods. Our results indicated optimal consumption period within 12–24 h...

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 weather. Herein, we found that the evolved several anatomical structures may play a role enhancing tolerance. These include fewer fusiform cells, smaller bulliform lower stomata density and many more trichomes, as relative water content than of cold-sensitive species, Bambusa ventricosa. Untargeted metabolomic...

Abstract The key molecular mechanisms underlying the sectionalized growth within bamboo or other grass internodes remain largely unknown. Here, we genetically and morphologically compared culm rhizome internode division zones (DZs) of a slow-growing variant (sgv) having dwarf internodes, with those corresponding wild type (WT). Histological analysis discovers that sgv has an irregular DZ. However, shoot apical meristems in height, width, outside shape, cell number width WT were all similar....

Electroacupuncture (EA), especially high-frequency EA, has frequently been used as an alternative therapy for Parkinson disease (PD) and is reportedly effective alleviating motor symptoms in patients PD models. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its effectiveness not completely understood. To implement a full-scale search targets of 100 Hz we selected rat models treated with 6-hydroxydopamine into unilateral MFB, which mimic end-stage PD. High-throughput microarray analysis was then...

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) required for bamboo shoot development, the critical stage that determines yield of a stand, originate from parent with complex underground system. However, metabolic mechanism NSCs in rhizome-culm system during development remains unclear. In this study, we focused on changes and used anatomical, physiological, biochemical methods to investigate metabolism shoots

Bamboo differentiates a cell division zone (DZ) and elongation (EZ) to promote internode during rapid growth. However, the biological mechanisms underlying this sectioned growth behavior are still unknown. Using histological, physiological, genomic data, we found that wall other subcellular organelles such as chloroplasts more developed in EZ. Abundant hydrogen peroxide accumulated pith cells of EZ, stomata formed completely In contrast, most DZ were an undifferentiated state with wrinkled...
