Growth Characteristics of Dwarf Bamboo Distributed in the Northern Part of Japan 187 Widely [1, 8]

Sasa kurilensis, Sasa senanensis and Sasa nipponica are widely distributed in this region. Growth characteristics of these three Sasa species are also different: leaf longevity ofS. kuri- lensis is 3–5 years. In contrast, leaf longevity of S. senanensis and S. nipponica are 2 years and <1 year, respectively. We predicted that ecophysiological characteristics of the three Sasa species would reflect their leaf longevity; however, their characteristics were still not well analysed. We examined ecophysiological parameters of the three Sasa species grown under the same environment. Net photosynthetic rate at light saturation (Psat) and nitrogen concen- tration (N) of S. nipponica showed high values after flushing. However, culms of S. nipponica were dropped after overwintering, and Psat of the 2-year-old leaves drastically decreased. Meanwhile, Psat of the current leaves of S. kurilensis was lower than the other two species. However, Psat of 2-year-old leaves of S. kurilensis still maintained a relatively high value. Psat of the current leaves of S. senanensis was higher than that of S. kurilensis even though N was the same. -

THE BAMBOOS of NEPAL and BHUTAN PART II: Arundinaria, Thamnocalamus , Borinda, and Yushania (Gramineae: Poaceae, Bambusoideae)
EDINB. J. BOT. 51(2): 275–295 (1994) THE BAMBOOS OF NEPAL AND BHUTAN PART II: Arundinaria, Thamnocalamus , Borinda, and Yushania (Gramineae: Poaceae, Bambusoideae) C. M. A. S TAPLETON * This paper continues the systematic treatment of the bamboos of Nepal and Bhutan, covering four hardy temperate genera with semelauctant inflorescences and 3 stamens from the subtribe Arundinariinae Bentham. Arundinaria Michaux has leptomorph rhizomes, while Thamnocalamus Munro, Yushania Keng f., and the new genus Borinda have pachymorph rhizomes. The separation of these and related Sino-Himalayan genera is discussed. Sinarundinaria Nakai is treated as a synonym of Fargesia Franchet, a genus that is not known from the Himalayas. A new treatment of Himalayan Thamnocalamus species is given, including the description of two new subspecies of Thamnocalamus spathiflorus (Trin.) Munro, subsp . nepalensis and subsp . occidentalis, and one new variety, bhutanensis. T. aristatus is treated as a synonym of T. spathiflorus subsp. spathiflorus, and Fargesia crassinoda Yi is transferred and given new status as Thamnocalamus spathiflorus (Trin.) Munro var. crassinodus (Yi) Stapleton. Two new species of Borinda are described: B. chigar from West Nepal and B. emeryi from East Nepal. Six species of Fargesia from Tibet are transferred to Borinda, which thus comprises eight species. STATUS AND S EPARATION OF THE G ENERA Bamboos from the mountains of the Indian subcontinent and China with 3 stamens and terete culms were all placed in Arundinaria Michaux until late in the 19th century, when two genera for bamboos with spathate inflorescences were described. Munro (1868) described Thamnoca- lamus as a Himalayan genus with groups of one to four racemes at the tips of branchlets, each raceme being enclosed in a spathe. -

Therefore, studies of the genetic origin of such hybrids are required to clarify their systematic relationships. It has been pointed out that, as an example of putative hybrids, the species in the genus Sasaella are intergeneric hybrids between the genera Pleioblastus and Sasa, based on their morpho- logical characteristics. Here, we conducted population genetic analysis for identifying the parental species of a putative hybrid species of Sasaella. DNA samples were collected from fi ve bamboo species; Sasaella masamuneana f. hashimotoi as a putative hybrid, P. chino and Sasa palmata as its putative parents, Sasa spiculosa and Sasamorpha borealis as sympat- ric species in Kawatabi Field Science Center, Tohoku University. These samples were analyzed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and single nucleotide polymorphisms obtained by next-generation sequencer (NGS-SNP). (i) Genetic diversity, (ii) structure, (iii) parentage assignment analysis, and (iv) approximate Bayes- ian computation analysis for demographic history of the populations were conducted using the population genetic data. -

front page- need Hi res closeup www.bamboogarden.com 1 503-647-2700 Forward by Ted Meredith Bamboo Garden is very special. Founded in 1984, Bamboo Garden has a diverse collection of more than 300 bamboo species and forms on 20 pastoral acres near North Plains, Oregon. Here mature bamboo groves are cast in a beautiful natural setting of rolling hills, ponds, mountain stream, and wooded backdrop. Customers of the nursery are offered golf cart tours of the extensive grounds. Europe has a number of splendid bamboo gardens, and a few very famous ones that are connected with a bamboo nursery, where one can see many species of bamboo in mature natural groves and then have the opportunity to purchase the same bamboos for one’s own garden. America now has an equivalent in the Bamboo Garden. Owner Ned Jaquith, an ardent bamboo enthusiast, has introduced countless people to the world of bamboo and served as a mentor to countless more---myself included. Nothing seems to please Ned more than introducing another person to bamboo. His welcom- ing enthusiasm carries through to the Bamboo Gar- den’s knowledgeable staff, who are adept at discuss- ing bamboos with experts and novices alike. Nursery manager Noah Bell oversees the operation, includ- ing nursery, office, and sales. Maintenance foreman Reveriano Ramirez directs bamboo propagation and care. Bamboo Garden is an impressive operation with many fine people in key roles working to make it so. Like Bamboo Garden, the Bamboo Garden catalog is something special too. The bamboos are beautifully photographed and described (Noah and Ned did most of the photography themselves) with clear illustra- tions that show how to maintain bamboo (credit to Charissa Brock for illustrations and layout design) . -

Bamboos flower after the return of an appropriate sun-moon phasing Benoit Clerget CIRAD, UMR AGAP Institut, Univ Montpellier, 34398 Montpellier, France E-mail [email protected] Abstract All Asian woody bamboo species of economic importance are semelparous [1]. They remain vegetative during time intervals that are specific to each species and range from three to 120 years, with notable concentrations around a series of values (3, 7-8, 14-17, 29-36, 42-48, 61- 64, and 120 years) [2],[3]. Then, they flower gregariously within a short period. As with all grasses, they are monocarpic and produce a large quantity of seeds before dying. Entire forests temporarily disappear during these periods, and the dates of these dramatic events have been recorded over the last 200 years [1],[4]. I have found that the concentrations of flowering cycles were highly correlated with the series of successive returns of almost the same sun-moon phasing as at seedling emergence. On basis of knowledge on plant photoperiod sensitivity [5],[6], I hypothesize that bamboo plants i) run a lunar cellular clock that is set at the full moon, ii) retain in their cellular memory the exact sun-moon phasing of the year of their emergence as seedlings, and iii) inhibit flowering until the occurrence of a unique, species-specific sun-moon phasing that is shifted by a precise amount from the sun-moon phasing at their emergence.
