Leaves have evolved to effectively harvest light, and, in parallel, to balance photosynthetic
CO2 assimilation with water losses. At times, leaves must operate under light limiting …

Leaf blade anatomical and micromorphological data have increasingly proved to be useful
in the systematics and phylogeny of Bambusoideae. The presence of well-developed …

Finding ways to mitigate atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the key steps towards
fighting air pollution and protecting people's health. The use of green infrastructure is one …

The exact developmental roadmaps of bamboo leaf epidermis and the regulating genes are
largely unknown. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the morphological features …

Bambusoideae is a diverse subfamily that includes herbaceous (Olyreae) and woody
(Arundinarieae and Bambuseae) bamboos. Species within Bambusae are particularly …

Arundinarieae (temperate woody bamboos) is a taxonomically challenging group and the
taxa in this tribe show a low level of DNA sequence variation, especially for plastid markers …

We analysed the leaf epidermal surfaces of 52 species of herbaceous bamboos belonging
to all 20 genera of subtribe Olyrinae (Olyreae). We used scanning electron microscopy …

Culm sheath has always been considered a modified leaf. In this study, the anatomical
structure of the culm sheath from Fargesia yunnanensis was analyzed to determine whether …

Elucidating the differences in gene expression profiles of plants with different ploidy levels
and how they affect phenotypic traits is vital to allow genetic improvement of plants such as …

Two new species belonging to the herbaceous bamboo genus Eremitis (Poaceae,
Bambusoideae) are herein described as E. afimbriata and E. magnifica. We discuss the …
