Overview
- Is compendium of information regarding economic importance, classical and molecular breeding, genetic resources, and state-of-the-art omics applications in bamboo—a forest plant of immense ecological, commercial, and high performance potential and culture
- Elucidates the advances in the field of genome sequencing, transcriptomics ,and the molecular mechanism of analyzing the unique biological characteristics of bamboo, application of genome editing technologies, and its prospects in bamboo
- Acts as first compendium of bamboo genomics, transcriptomics, which authors hope would form a foundation for more such projects in more than 1500 other related bamboo species

About this book
This book is the first comprehensive compilation describing the botanical traits, genetic resources, whole genome sequencing, Mitochondrial genome, transcriptomes of different organs with developmental stages, transcription factors, delineating gene evolution of gene family in Bambusoideae, alternative splicing (AS) and polyadenylation, case studies for economically important traits such as internode length, shoot fast growing, flowering, ageing and stress-resistant genes and small RNAs-mediated gene regulation of moso bamboo flowering and other developmental stages.
Applications of transcriptome and genome approaches in moso bamboo in general and the prospects of transgenic breeding and genome editing technologies in bamboo are also discussed. Altogether, the book comprises eleven chapters covered over 200 pages authored by the researchers involved in genomic science, molecular biology, and breeding. This book appeals to graduate students, post-graduate students, research scholars, researchers, and industry players in the field of plantation bamboo in general, bamboo processing and bamboo garden owner and fans of bamboo culture in particular.
