TLS uses a pulsed laser emitted in a regular scan pattern for rapid measurement of distances to the targets, thus producing three dimensional point cloud models of sub-centimeter resolution and accuracy in a few minutes. Here, we aim to gain an overview of the variability of circadian movement of small Edited by: Yann Guédon, trees across different taxonomic groups, growth forms and leaf anatomies.

Investigating factors involved in the alleviation of the toxic efects of heavy metals (HMs) on plants is regarded as one of the important research concerns in the environmental feld. Te southern regions of China are severely impacted by human-induced heavy metal (HM) contamination, which poses an impediment to growth and productivity of bamboo (Indocalamus latifolius) plants. Tis necessitates the investigation of the efects of HMs on growth and physiological properties of bamboo. Terefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate some gas exchange and growth parameters in two-year-old bamboo species under HMs stress. -

Disappearance of Nezasa Dwarf Bamboo (Pleioblastus Variegatus Makino) After Flowering in Grazing Grassland of Aso
JARQ 31, 35-40 (1997) Disappearance of Nezasa Dwarf Bamboo (Pleioblastus variegatus Makino) after Flowering in Grazing Grassland of Aso Nobuaki KOYAMA and Yasuo OGAWA* Department of Grasslands, Kyushu National Agricultural Experiment Station (Nishigoshi, Kumamoto, 861-11 Japan) Abstract Nezasa bamboo (Pleioblastus variegatus Makino) is an important native plant for grazing of beef cows in the grasslands of Aso area. In 1992 nezasa bamboo flowered over 2,150 ha of grassland in the northern somma of Aso volcano. The current studies were carried out to investigate the effects of flowering on yearly changes in the above- and underground parts of nezasa bamboo. In the flowering year (1992) the amount of aboveground parts (44.0 g DM m-2 in June 1992) decreased to 19% of the value recorded (227.1 g DM m-2 in June 1991) in the previous year (1991). In the year after flowering (1993), the aboveground parts were scarce (only 1.3 g DM m-2 in June 1993). Dry matter weight of underground plant parts in the year of flowering decreased from spring to autumn, and the plants died after the summer. In the next year of flowering the dry matter weight continued to decrease. In 1994, the recovery of nezasa bamboo in grasslands of the northern somma of Mt. Aso was investigated. The rate of recovery was low and it was considered that 10 or more years would be required for the recovery of nezasa bamboo.

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. -

Altitudinal Variation of Antioxidant Components and Capability in Indocalamus Latifolius (Keng) Mcclure Leaf
J Nutr Sci Vitaminol, 59, 336–342, 2013 Altitudinal Variation of Antioxidant Components and Capability in Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure Leaf Qinxue NI1, Zhiqiang WANG1, Guangzhi XU1, Qianxin GAO1, Dongdong YANG1, Fumiki MORIMATSU2 and Youzuo ZHANG1,* 1 The Key Laboratory for Quality Improvement of Agricultural Products of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University, Lin’an 311300, China 2 R & D Center, Nippon Meat Packers Inc., Tsukuba, Ibaraki 300–2646, Japan (Received February 7, 2013) Summary Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure leaf is a popular food material in East Asia due to its antioxidant and anticorrosive activities. To utilize it more effectively, we inves- tigated the discrepancy of antioxidant activities and active compound content in Indocala- mus latifolius leaf along with the altitude change. Total flavonoids, phenolics, titerpenoids and eight characteristic active constituents, i.e, orientin, isoorientin, vitexin, homovitexin, p-coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid, were determined by UV- spectrophotometer and synchronous RP-HPLC, respectively. Antioxidant activity was mea- sured using DPPH and FRAP methods. Our data showed that the content of TP and TF, DPPH radical scavenging ability and ferric reduction power of Indocalamus latifolius leaf changed as altitude altered, with the trends of decreasing gradually when lower than 700 m and then increasing to 1,000 m. Chlorogenic acid and orientin were the main characteristic compounds in Indocalamus latifolius leaf and were also affected by altitude. Our result indi- cated that higher altitude with an adverse environment is conducive to secondary metabo- lite accumulation for Indocalamus latifolius. It would provide a theoretical basis to regulate the leaf collection conditions in the industrial use of Indocalamus latifolius leaf. -
