“…This approach has been problematic because there are limited and peculiar morphological characters in bamboo, particularly its flowers, and the flowering period may vary between 15 -120 years, and some species have never known to flower (Janzen, 1976). Although traditional taxonomy depends heavily on inflorescence and floral morphology, Usui (1957) revealed the importance of branch and bud characters, and McClure (1973) studied the morphology of the rhizome, branching patterns, and culm sheath for bamboo species identification. Soderstrom and Ellis (1988) also considered leaf morphology characters for subfamilial and subtribal level identification, but they failed to apply it at the generic level.…”

Conservation of plant species plays a vital role in preventing the loss of valuable plant resources. The success of conservation depends on the correct identification and characterization of plant species. Bamboo is one of the most important plants with multiple uses that have contributed to the economy and socio-economy of many people in rural areas. It is under the subfamily of Bambusoideae that includes both woody and herbaceous bamboo. Conventionally, like other plants, bamboo has been classified dependently based on morphological characteristics. However, morphological identification leads to difficulties and misclassification of bamboo species due to their infrequent flowering behaviour and peculiar reproductive biology. Since then, molecular markers have been introduced to overcome the problems associated with bamboo taxonomy and phylogeny. This paper provides an overview of the diverse, predominantly molecular techniques used to assess and determine the genetic diversity of bamboo species.

“…Reeder was also impressed by the unfused, overlapping margins of the coleoptile. Most bambusoid grasses examined have coleoptiles with margins that are unfused for at least part of their length and some have the free portions of these margins overlapping (Ghopal and Ram, 1985;Usui, 1957;Philip and Haccius, 1976;de la Cruz, 1985; X.

“…Only one lateral bud is produced per node, such that the branching order increases by one each year as the culm ages ( Fig. 1B ) ( Makino and Shibata 1901 ; Muroi 1937 , 1969 ; Ueda 1956 ; Usui 1957 ; McClure 1966 ). The genus reproduces asexually by rhizome for many decades until flowering, after which the plant dies—as also occurs in other temperate genera of Bambusoideae.…”

Clarifying the endogenous processes that construct gross aerial shapes such as branching architecture in plants is crucial to understanding how branching contributes to plant adaptation to environments. Architectural analysis is powerful in decomposing the branching process, by comparing observations of plant growth among closely related taxa. The genus Sasa (Gramineae: Bambusoideae) contains three major sections Crassinodi, Sasa, and Macrochlamys. These sections exhibit characteristic branching architectures and are distributed separately across the Japanese archipelago, in relation to macroclimatic conditions such as snow accumulation. Our study aimed to quantitatively reveal the endogenous processes underlying branching architectures in the three sections of Sasa. Long term observations were carried out branch architectural development on Hokkaido Island from 1979 to 2012, which corresponded to the flowering interval of the genus. The results revealed that the three characteristic branching systems of the genus arise mainly from four endogenous processes (distribution of lateral buds on a culm, internode length arrangement along a culm, determination of the fate of lateral buds, development of branching with culm fragility due to aging) and their interactions with environmental conditions, especially snow accumulation. These processes are coordinated with each other over the lifespan of a single shoot in developing branching architecture.
