“…The presence of two papillae per subsidiary cell herein supports the assumption of this feature as a synapomorphy for Chusquea (Fisher et al, 2009(Fisher et al, , 2014, although there are not enough studies on micromorphology and anatomy to clarify its value. Currently, the set of features herein observed for Arthrostylidiinae and Chusqueinae is common among all species known within each subtribe and extremely applicable for recognizing these groups (BPG, 2012;Clark et al, 2015).…”

“…Twelve subfamilies are recognized within Poaceae (GPWG II, 2012;Soreng et al, 2015), among them Bambusoideae, a monophyletic group that currently includes 1,482 described species (Clark et al, 2015). Three Bambusoideae tribes are recognized, two of which are found in the Neotropics: Bambuseae, which comprise the woody bamboos; and Olyreae, the herbaceous bamboos (Kelchner, 2013;Clark et al, 2015). The Atlantic Rainforest is considered an important center of bamboo diversity (Judziewicz et al, 1999), and Brazil occupies a leading position based on number of species (298) and high endemism (172) (Carvalho et al, 2016).…”

The utility of Bambusoideae (Poaceae, Poales) leaf blade anatomy for identification and systematics

et al. 2016

Bambusoideae is a diverse subfamily that includes herbaceous (Olyreae) and woody (Arundinarieae and Bambuseae) bamboos. Species within Bambusae are particularly difficult to identify due to their monocarpic lifecycle and the often long durations between mass flowering events; whereas the herbaceous bamboos are pluricarpic, but often are found with no reproductive structures. The leaf blade anatomy of 16 sympatric species of native Brazilian bamboos (Olyreae and Bambuseae) from the Atlantic Rainforest was studied in order to detect useful features for their identification. All the studied species share the following features: epidermis with a single stratum of cells; adaxial bulliform cells; mesophyll with arm cells, rosette cells, and fusoid cells; and collateral vascular bundles. Herbaceous bamboos share two features: papillae scattered on the abaxial surface and parallel-sided arrays of bulliform cells; whereas woody bamboos share: centrally organized papillae and fan-shaped arrays of bulliform cells. Also within the woody bamboos, intercostal fibers and a midrib with only one vascular bundle (simple midrib) characterize the subtribe Arthrostylidiinae; whereas a midrib with more than one vascular bundle (complex midrib) and a stomatal apparatus with two pappilae per subsidiary cell characterize the subtribe Chusqueinae. There are also diagnostic features for the sampled species, such as: papillae shape, and the outline and structure of the midrib. An identification key for all the studied species is provided based on the anatomical features.Keywords: Arthrostylidiinae, Bambuseae, Chusqueinae, leaf blade, Olyreae.A utilidade da anatomia da lâmina foliar para a identificação e sistemática de espécies de Bambuboideae (Poaceae, Poales) ResumoBambusoideae é uma subfamília que inclui diversas espécies de bambus herbáceos (Olyreae) e lignificados (Arundinarie e Bambuseae). Bambus lignificados geralmente apresentam dificuldades de delimitação e identificação, devido principalmente ao ciclo monocárpico e longa amplitude temporal entre florações; enquanto que bambus herbáceos possuem ciclo pluricárpico, porém frequentemente são encontrados em estágio vegetativo. Foi estudada a anatomia da lâmina foliar de 16 espécies de Bambusoideae (Olyreae e Bambuseae), simpátricas e nativas do Brasil, visando levantar caracteres úteis para sua identificação. Todos os táxons estudados compartilham: epiderme uniestratificada; células buliformes na face adaxial; mesofilo com células invaginantes, células em roseta e células fusoides; e feixes vasculares colaterais. Bambus herbáceos compartilham: papilas dispersas na face abaxial e grupos de células buliformes organizadas paralelamente; enquanto que bambos lignificados compartilham: papilas organizadas em colunas centrais e grupos de células buliformes em forma de leque. Ainda dentre os bambus lignificados, fibras intercostais e nervura central com apenas um feixe vascular (nervura central simples) caracterizam a subtribo Arthrostylidiinae; enquanto que nervura central com mais d...

“…A number of species are known only vegetatively and new species are frequently been described (Triplett et al 2006;Clark et al 2007;Das et al 2008). The earliest bamboo classification was attempted by Munro (1868) which described 170 species under 20 genera (Das et al 2008;Clark et al 2015). The most up-to-date comprehensive and phylogenetically based bamboo taxonomical system is derived from DNA sequence data in combination with various morphological and anatomical features (Clark et al 2015).…”

Innovation in textile has brought alternative plant based fibers such as bamboo into the spotlight and as a replacement to petrochemical based synthetic fibers. Bamboo as a raw material is a remarkably sustainable and versatile resource but the manufacturing process is where the debate really gets heated and the sustainability and green image of bamboo is tarnished. Products made from bamboo are often labeled as ‘eco-friendly’, ‘bio-degradable’ and ‘anti-microbial’ irrespective of their method of manufacturing. The claims may not always portray the products authenticity and true environmental impact. By far, viscose process is predominantly used to create fibers from bamboo but the properties of natural bamboo fibers in such bamboo viscose products have been lost. However, bamboo textiles are not yet achieved their full potential and cleaner production processes are appearing. With abundant sources of raw material, relatively low cost; and unique performance of bamboo fiber it is only a matter of time to develop green and pure bamboo textiles. This paper analyses the prospects of bamboo fibers providing a view on bamboo as a plant and processed fiber, facts regarding the antimicrobial properties of bamboo fibers, its chemical properties, morphology, anatomy, historical overview, patents and modern bamboo textile industry.
