Research Status and Outlook of Dendrocalamus brandisii
Dendrocalam brandisii is one of the fine shoot bamboos in our country and is big-sized fine bamboo specie which could be used both in bamboo shoot and timber with high development potential, whose natural population is very rare and the research and protection of its germplasm resources and natu- ral population are urgent. From the aspects of biological characteristics, breeding technology, wood properties, genetic diversity and usage, the reseach status of D. brandisii was summarized and key points and directions of research development on D. brandisii were put forward.
