Endogenous hormonal equilibrium linked to bamboo culm development

H. Y. Wang, Cui, K., He, C. Y., Zeng, Y. F., Liao, S. X., and Zhang, J. G., Endogenous hormonal equilibrium linked to bamboo culm development, vol. 14, pp. 11312-11323, 2015.

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla) is the most important bamboo species in China and is famous for its fast-growing culms. To investigate the possible relationship between internode development and endogenous hormones, the concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), zeatin riboside (ZR), gibberellins (GA3), and abscisic acid (ABA) were analyzed in culm samples from plants at different developmental stages during a single growing season and, at the same time, anatomical structure was closely monitored.
