Transcriptomic Identification of Key Genes Responding to High Heat Stress in Moso Bamboo ().

Moso bamboo (), the most widely distributed bamboo species in China, is valued for both its shoots and timber. This species often faces challenges from high-temperature stress. To cope with this stress, Moso bamboo has evolved various adaptive mechanisms at the physiological and molecular levels.

Performance assessment of three simplified Gielis equations in quantifying the geometries of lanceolate bamboo leaves.

Accurate quantification of bamboo leaf morphology is essential for understanding plant morphogenesis and development. However, most bamboo leaves exhibit long lanceolate shape characteristic, posing challenges in finding suitable mathematical models for accurate shape description. Previous studies indicated that the simplified versions of Gielis equation, a nonlinear polar coordinate system derived from the superellipse equation, have shown promise in describing bamboo leaf geometries.

Moso bamboo alleviates Uranium/Cadmium stress through altering the rhizosphere micro-environment and regulating roots carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Uranium/cadmium (U/Cd) pollution poses a significant global environmental challenge, and phytoremediation offers a sustainable solution for heavy metal contamination. However, the mechanisms by which plants survive U/Cd stress remain unclear. Here, we conducted soil culture experiments of moso bamboo seedlings under U/Cd stress (U, Cd and U + Cd) to examine the effects of it on plant growth, mineral metabolism, and rhizosphere micro-environment.
