Reports on Sessions Reports on Technical Sessions 379 Research Needs and Priorities 384 List of Participants 386 FOREWORD In early 1980, IDRC organized the first ever workshop on “Bamboo Research in Asia” in Singapore. About 22 forestry scientists participated in the meeting where 19 papers were presented for discussion. That ground-breaking meeting had the following objectives: ! To review the existing knowledge on the cultivation and utilization of bamboo in Asia; ! To consider the most important problem and constraints preventing the greater use of the bamboo resource in the region; and, ! To identify regional research needs and priorities on bamboo cultivation. We in IDRC are happy that five years later we are able to convene this second workshop on Bamboo Research in Asia in Hangzhou, China, in collaboration with the Ministry of Forestry, China, the Chinese Academy of Forestry, The Nanjing University of Forestry, and the IUFRO. The world of bamboo reserach has changed much since 1980. This is largely reflected in the papers presented. In this second meeting some 80 scientists from various parts of the world participated and over 50 papers were presented for discussion. Of these at least 15 papers are the results of research sup- ported jointly by IDRC and national research institutes; over 20 papers come from the People’s Republic of China reflecting the long tradition and interest this great nation has in Bamboo. We will not be surprised if this is not the first meeting in Forestry in which so many Chinese scientists have participated. The papers themselves reflect both the progress and the degree of comprehension we have achieved in understanding bamboo production and utilization. The problems identified in 1980 have not all been resolved, but it is heartening to note that many solutions and innovative approches to improve the lot of bamboo growers, manufac- turers and users have been worked out. Even more heartening is to note the awakening of interest on Bamboo Research in Asia. On behalf of IDRC, the Ministry of Forestry and the Academy of Forestry, People’s Republic of China, we wish to express our gratitude to all the people who ensured the success of this workshop. We are specially grateful to the enthusiastic team of organizers from the Chinese Academy of Forestry’s Subtropical Forestry Research Institute in Zhejiang Province who devoted so much of their time and effort for making the workshop into such a lively and productive forum. Finally our thanks are also due to all of the participants who have come from all over the world to contribute to the second workshop on Bamboo Research in Asia. IDRC is hopeful that much good will result from this workshop. The Centre will continue to give serious consideration to any request from the developing nations of the world for support to conduct bamboo research. We, like the great Chinese poet, believe “a meal should have meat, but a house must have a bamboo. Without meat we become thin; without bamboo we loose serenity and culture in itself” (Su Dong PO - 10th Century Chinese Poet). CHERLA B SASTRY DEREK WEBB Senior Program Officer (Forestry) Associate Director (Forestry) Agriculture, Food & Nutrition Sciences Division Agriculture, Food & Nutrition Sciences Division V Preface to the Second Edition INBAR/IDRC has been at the forefront of the research and development in bamboo since the eariy eighties. tDRC organized the first ever workshop on ‘Bamboo Research in Asia” in 1980. In 1985 in collaboration with the Chinese Ministry of Forestry, The Chinese Academy of Forestry, the Nanjing University of Forestry, and the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations (IUFRO). the second Intemational Bamboo Research Workshop was organized in Hangzhou, China. This workshop was the largest gathering of bamboo scientists in the world up to that date and provided a forum for wide-ranging exchanges of the latest information and ideas on bamboo research in Asia. Since then, the IDRC Bamboo and Rattan Network(predecessor of INBAR) and after 1993, INBAR, have been involved in organizing the third, fourth, and fifth international meetings, held in Cochin, India; Chiangmal, Thailand; and Bali, Indonesia in 1988, 1991 and 1995, respectively. Proceedings of these workshops, two of them in reprints, have been published jointly by INESAR, IDRC and FORSPA. They continue to be great demand by bamboo enthusiasts around the globe. The Hangzhou proceedings has been a very informative and path breaktng document in its content and presentations and scientists, field workers, and general bamboo lovers continue to request it. Responding to this popular interest, we are happy fo bring out a section edition of the Hangzhou proceedings Recent Research on Bamboos’, together with the Chinese Academy of Forestry, China. We are confident that a large number of readers will now have easy access to this wealth of information of meet their growing interest in bamboo.

PhytoKeys 109: 67–76. https://doi.org/10.3897/ phytokeys.109.27566 Abstract Ampelocalamus calcareus is a climbing and slender bamboo, known from south Guizhou, China. This species grows in broadleaved forests of limestone montane areas. Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that A. calcareus was sister to all other lineages of the tribe Arundinarieae rather than a member of Ampelocalamus. The morphological features and habitats of A. calcareus and related genera including Ampelocalamus, Drepanostachyum and Himalayacalamus were compared and discussed. The characteristics of the branch complements, nodes and foliage leaves distinguish A. calcareus from morpho- logically similar taxa. On the basis of molecular and morphological evidence, we propose to establish a new genus, Hsuehochloa, to accommodate A.

  • Investigation of Mitochondrial-Derived Plastome Sequences in the Paspalum Lineage (Panicoideae; Poaceae) Sean V
    Burke et al. BMC Plant Biology (2018) 18:152 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-018-1379-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Investigation of mitochondrial-derived plastome sequences in the Paspalum lineage (Panicoideae; Poaceae) Sean V. Burke1* , Mark C. Ungerer2 and Melvin R. Duvall1 Abstract Background: The grass family (Poaceae), ca. 12,075 species, is a focal point of many recent studies that aim to use complete plastomes to reveal and strengthen relationships within the family. The use of Next Generation Sequencing technology has revealed intricate details in many Poaceae plastomes; specifically the trnI - trnL intergenic spacer region. This study investigates this region and the putative mitochondrial inserts within it in complete plastomes of Paspalum and other Poaceae. Results: Nine newly sequenced plastomes, seven of which contain an insert within the trnI - trnL intergenic spacer, were combined into plastome phylogenomic and divergence date analyses with 52 other species. A robust Paspalum topology was recovered, originating at 10.6 Ma, with the insert arising at 8.7 Ma. The alignment of the insert across Paspalum reveals 21 subregions with pairwise homology in 19. In an analysis of emergent self- organizing maps of tetranucleotide frequencies, the Paspalum insert grouped with mitochondrial DNA. Conclusions: A hypothetical ancestral insert, 17,685 bp in size, was found in the trnI - trnL intergenic spacer for the Paspalum lineage. A different insert, 2808 bp, was found in the same region for Paraneurachne muelleri. Seven different intrastrand deletion events were found within the Paspalum lineage, suggesting selective pressures to remove large portions of noncoding DNA. Finally, a tetranucleotide frequency analysis was used to determine that the origin of the insert in the Paspalum lineage is mitochondrial DNA.

PeerJ 4:e2781 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.2781 Adulteration of herbal products: Bamboo tea authentication Thomas Horn Corresp., 1 , Annette Häser 1 1 Molecular Cellbiology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany Corresponding Author: Thomas Horn Email address: [email protected] Background. Names for ”substances” used in food products are rarely precise. The term bamboo (Bambusoideae, Poaceae) comprises over 1600 distinct species of which only few are well established sources for food products on the European market (i.e. bamboo sprouts). Methods. We analysed bamboo species and tea products containing an exotic ingredient (bamboo leaves) using anatomical leaf characters and DNA sequence data. Our primary concern was to determine the taxonomic origin of bamboo leaves to establish a baseline for EU legislation, to introduce a simple PCR based test to distinguish bamboo from other Poaceae leaf components and to assess the diagnostic potential of DNA Barcoding markers to resolve taxonomic entities within the bamboo subfamily and tribes. Results. Based on anatomical and DNA data we can pinpoint the taxonomic origin of genuine bamboo leaves used in commercial products to the genera Phyllostachys and Pseudosasa from the temperate ”woody” bamboo tribe (Arundinarieae). We detected adulteration by carnation in 4 of 8 tea products and, after adapting our objectives, could trace the taxonomic origin of the adulterant to Dianthus chinensis (Caryophyllaceae), a well known traditional Chinese medicine with counter indications for pregnant women.
