Dendrocalamus sinicus Transcriptome or Gene expression

The culm growth of D. sinicus is extremely amazing: shooting initiate from early June, and height growth of culm end in late August. By the brief three months, new shoots can reach the height and diameter of adult mother bamboo – near to 30 cm of diameter and 30 m of height. To our knowledge, no any plant in this planet has faster growth rate compared with D. sinicus. To date, there was almost no molecular data of D. sinicus except SSR marker development, which extremely restricted its variety improvement and resource development. So, the high throughput RNA-Seq was performed to elucidate the molecular processes involved in the rapid culm elongation of D. sinicus during an integrated growing season.
