Ruscus-leaved bamboo Shibataea kumasasa Also known as: Bambusa shibataea 'Kumasaca', Shibataea kumasaca Rating: 0.0 ( 0 votes) This description is for Ruscus-leaved bamboo (Shibataea kumasasa): A short-growing, evergreen bamboo, shibataea kumasasa has become a popular option for hedging and garden screens. Its slender, green-brown culms look almost like a dwarf version of larger species, with the culms having nodes that are closer together than normal. Commonly called the ruscus bamboo, its foliage comprises typically slender, lance-shaped dark green leaves. It thrives in moist but well-drained loamy soil or clay, usually in full sun. It prefers sheltered areas, but once established is highly eﬀective in providing shelter to smaller plants. In pots, it can be used on roof gardens and patios. Pruning away old culms helps maintain healthy growth. Find Ruscus-leaved bamboo in our Shop! Free shipping from € 50! Plant Environment Usage Known dangers?

High-Throughput Sequencing of Six Bamboo Chloroplast Genomes: Phylogenetic Implications for Temperate Woody Bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae)
High-Throughput Sequencing of Six Bamboo Chloroplast Genomes: Phylogenetic Implications for Temperate Woody Bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) Yun-Jie Zhang1,2,3., Peng-Fei Ma1,2,3., De-Zhu Li1,2* 1 Key Laboratory of Biodiversity and Biogeography, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China, 2 Plant Germplasm and Genomics Center, Germplasm Bank of Wild Species, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, Yunnan, People’s Republic of China, 3 Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, People’s Republic of China Abstract Background: Bambusoideae is the only subfamily that contains woody members in the grass family, Poaceae. In phylogenetic analyses, Bambusoideae, Pooideae and Ehrhartoideae formed the BEP clade, yet the internal relationships of this clade are controversial. The distinctive life history (infrequent flowering and predominance of asexual reproduction) of woody bamboos makes them an interesting but taxonomically difficult group. Phylogenetic analyses based on large DNA fragments could only provide a moderate resolution of woody bamboo relationships, although a robust phylogenetic tree is needed to elucidate their evolutionary history. Phylogenomics is an alternative choice for resolving difficult phylogenies. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we present the complete nucleotide sequences of six woody bamboo chloroplast (cp) genomes using Illumina sequencing. These genomes are similar to those of other grasses and rather conservative in evolution. We constructed a phylogeny of Poaceae from 24 complete cp genomes including 21 grass species. Within the BEP clade, we found strong support for a sister relationship between Bambusoideae and Pooideae. In a substantial improvement over prior studies, all six nodes within Bambusoideae were supported with $0.95 posterior probability from Bayesian inference and 5/6 nodes resolved with 100% bootstrap support in maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses.

Identification and Characterization of the PEBP Family Genes in Moso
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation and Characterization of the PEBP Family Genes in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla) Zhaohe Yang1,2, Lei Chen1,2, Markus V. Kohnen2, Bei Xiong2,3, Xi Zhen2,3, Jiakai Liao2,3, Yoshito Oka2, Qiang Zhu2, Lianfeng Gu2, Chentao Lin 2,4* & Bobin Liu1,2* Moso bamboo is one of the economically most important plants in China. Moso bamboo is a monocarpic perennial that exhibits poor and slow germination. Thus, the fowering often causes destruction of moso bamboo forestry. However, how control of fowering and seed germination are regulated in moso bamboo is largely unclear. In this study, we identifed 5 members (PhFT1-5) of the phosphatidyl ethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBP) family from moso bamboo genome that regulate fowering, fower architecture and germination, and characterized the function of these PEBP family genes further in Arabidopsis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 3 (PhFT1, PhFT2 and PhFT3), 1 (PhFT4) and 1 (PhFT5) members belong to the TFL1-like clade, FT-like clade, and MFT-like clade, respectively. These PEBP family genes possess all structure necessary for PEBP gene function. The ectopic overexpression of PhFT4 and PhFT5 promotes fowering time in Arabidopsis, and that of PhFT1, PhFT2 and PhFT3 suppresses it. In addition, the overexpression of PhFT5 promotes seed germination rate. Interestingly, the overexpression of PhFT1 suppressed seed germination rate in Arabidopsis. The expression of PhFT1 and PhFT5 is signifcantly higher in seed than in tissues including leaf and shoot apical meristem, implying their function in seed germination. Taken together, our results suggested that the PEBP family genes play important roles as regulators of fowering and seed germination in moso bamboo and thereby are necessary for the sustainability of moso bamboo forest.

The Good Luck Or Fortune-Inviting Bamboo, Shibataea Kumasaca
The Good Luck or Fortune-inviting Bamboo Shibataea kumasaca (Steud.) Makino ex Nakai: A discussion of the correct botanical name Chris Stapleton Introduction The article by Karl Bareis in UK Bamboo Society Newsletter No 26 led me to look at the spelling of the species name for this lovely bamboo, and to find out why the local name for Sasa veitchii became tied up in it. I concluded that the Bad Luck Bamboo would be a better name for it, for anyone trying to get the name right. Both spellings kumasasa and kumasaca appear in the literature, and the authorities given for the generic and species names also vary widely. This is a charming dwarf bamboo with rounded leaves, having the appearance of a miniature short-branched Phyllostachys. As an architectural plant it is very useful, spreading slowly into dense low domes that can be clipped to maintain their size. Okamura et al. (1991), in their guide to horticultural bamboos in Japan, report that it is essential for the Yebisu religious festival. Karl has now kindly filled in more details of its history for us. It certainly warrants wider planting, both for its attractive appearance, and for its strong Japanese cultural associations. When it was first referred to in lists of plants grown in Dutch colonies of the East Indies, now Java, nearly all bamboos were still placed in the genus Bambusa. Munro seems to have been the first to realise that such a placement was unsatisfactory, and he transferred it into Phyllostachys (1868). Makino later decided that it deserved a new genus of its own, and he coined the name Shibataea, dedicating it to the Japanese botanist Dr Keitaro Shibata, in recognition of his contributions to the study of Japanese bamboos.

Anthracnose Fungi with Curved Conidia, Colletotrichum Spp
JARQ 49 (4), 351 - 362 (2015) http://www.jircas.affrc.go.jp Anthracnose Fungi with Curved Conidia, Colletotrichum spp. belonging to Ribosomal Groups 9-13, and Their Host Ranges in Japan Toyozo SATO1*, Jouji MORIWAKI2 and Shigeru KANEKO1 1 Genetic Resources Center, National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8602, Japan) 2 Horticulture Research Division, NARO Kyushu Okinawa Agricultural Research Center, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (Kurume, Fukuoka 839-8503, Japan) Abstract Ninety fungal strains with falcate conidia belonging to Colletotrichum spp. classified into the ribosomal groups 9-13 (the RG 9-13 spp.) and preserved at the NIAS Genebank, Japan were re-identified based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rRNA gene, sequences of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, chitin synthase 1, histone3, and actin genes, and partial sequences of β-tubulin-2 (TUB2) genes, or by BLASTN searches with TUB2 gene sequences. Seventy strains were reclassified into nine recently revised species, C. chlorophyti, C. circinans, C. dematium sensu stricto, C. lineola, C. liriopes, C. spaethianum, C. tofieldiae, C. trichel- lum and C. truncatum, whereas 20 strains were grouped into four unidentified species. RG 9, 10 and 12 corresponded to the C. spaethianum, C. dematium and C. truncatum species complex, respectively, while RG 11 and 13 agreed with C. chlorophyti and C. trichellum, respectively. Phylograms derived from a six-locus analysis and from TUB2 single-locus analysis were very similar to one another with the exception of the association between C. dematium s. str. and C. lineola. Thus, TUB2 partial gene sequences are proposed as an effective genetic marker to differentiate species of RG 9-13 in Japan except for C.

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.

Hortax Presentation
HORTAX CULTIVATED PLANT TAXONOMY GROUP Muddles and misapplications: taxonomic difficulties associated with bamboos in cultivation Chris Stapleton bamboo-identification.co.uk formerly: University of Aberdeen Forestry Department Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Presentation roughly as given in 2015, updated a little in 2021. Here I illustrate the problem – multiple names in the UK for the same cultivated plant. Genus, species & cultivar names all varying on displayed and marketed plants. All these are the same species. To decide which name is correct Steve Renvoize & I had to go as far as conserving a species name in the journal Taxon. The genus Pleioblastus is considered appropriate on the grounds of morphology and molecular data. In that genus it is now correctly called Pleioblastus viridistriatus, but you will still see these other names around. Popping in to Tesco’s, I saw a nice little bamboo plant on the stands outside. It had an authoritative label, saying Fountain Bamboo. It is not Fountain Bamboo, which is Fargesia nitida. On the back it says Fargesia rufa, which it also is not. It is actually Fargesia dracocephala ‘Rufa’, Dragon-head Bamboo. It also says it comes from the mountains of western China, while in fact it comes from Central China, but that is not so important as getting the name so wrong. How have we got into this position in Europe? This disinformation would not happen in the US, where we have verified and standardised bamboo names for most of the horticulturally available bamboos. Stapleton, C. M. A. & Renvoize, S. A. (2001). Proposal to conserve the name Bambusa viridistriata Siebold ex André (Poaceae, Bambusoideae).
