Young Moso bamboo shoots are a very popular seasonal food. Bamboo is an important source of income for farmers and the value for cultivation has recently been estimated to $30,000 per hectare. A rare and valuable phenomenon has recently appeared where dozens of adjacent buds within a single Moso bamboo rhizome have grown into shoots. Due to its rarity, this phenomenon, which is of practical importance for the production of edible shoots, has not been scientifically studied. We report the occurrence of a rhizome with 18 shoots, of which the microbiome were analyzed, using rhizomes having one or no shoots as controls. The community of prokaryotes, but not fungi, correlated with the shoot numbers. Burkholderia was the most abundant genus, which negatively correlated with rhizome shoot number, while Clostridia and Ktedonobacteria positively correlated with many shoots. Two Burkholderia strains were isolated and their plant-growth promoting activity was tested. The isolated Burkholderia strains attenuated the growth of bamboo seedlings. Analysis of collected events of enhanced shoot production in China showed no evidence that enhanced shoot development was heritable. Overall, our data provides a firsthand study on excessive shoot development of bamboo.

The present study aimed to explore the effects of foliar application of a leonardite-based product on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants grown in the field. The approach concerned the evaluation of the community compositional structure of plant endophytic bacteria through a metabarcoding approach, the expression level of a gene panel related to hormonal metabolism and signaling, and the main sugar beet productivity traits. Results indicated that plants treated with leonardite (dosage of 2,000 ml ha–1, dilution 1:125, 4 mg C l–1) compared with untreated ones had a significant increase (p < 0.05) in (i) the abundance of Oxalicibacterium spp., recognized to be an endophyte bacterial genus with plant growth-promoting activity; (ii) the expression level of LAX2 gene, coding for auxin transport proteins; and (iii) sugar yield. This study represents a step forward to advance our understanding of the changes induced by leonardite-based biostimulant in sugar beet.

Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’ can have a stalk wall thickness of up to 2.5 cm at a height of 1.3 m, which is 1.8 times that of normal Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis); this serves as an excellent cultivar, comprising both wood and bamboo shoots. We collected bamboo shoot samples of Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’ and Moso bamboo on a monthly basis from September to April and used transcriptome sequencing to explore the differences in their development. The results showed that there were 666–1839 Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’-specific genes at different developmental stages enriched in 20 biological processes, 15 cellular components, 12 molecular functions, and 137 metabolic pathways, 52 of which were significant. Among these, 27 metabolic pathways such as tyrosine metabolism and their uniquely expressed genes were found to play important roles in the thickening of Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’. This study provides insights into the mechanisms underlying the thickening of the culm wall of Phyllostachys edulis ‘Pachyloen’.

Nac Gene Family

NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) transcription factors (TFs) are implicated in the transcriptional regulation of diverse processes and have been characterized in a number of plant species. However, NAC TFs are still not well understood in bamboo, especially their potential association with the secondary cell wall (SCW). Here, 94 PeNACs were identified and characterized in moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). Based on their gene structures and conserved motifs, the PeNACs were divided into 11 groups according to their homologs in Arabidopsis. PeNACs were expressed variously in different tissues of moso bamboo, suggesting their functional diversity. Fifteen PeNACs associated with the SCW were selected for co-expression analysis and validation. It was predicted that 396 genes were co-expressed with the 15 PeNACs, in which 16 and 55 genes were involved in the lignin catabolic process and cellulose biosynthetic process respectively. As the degree of lignification in the growing bamboo shoots increased, all 15 PeNACs were upregulated with a trend of rising first and then decreasing except PeNAC37, which increased continuously. These results indicated that these PeNACs might play important roles in SCW biosynthesis and lignification in bamboo shoots. Seven of 15 PeNACs had been found positively co-expressed with seven PeMYBs, and they had similar expression patterns with those of the PeMYBs in bamboo shoots. The targeted sites of miR164 were found in 16 PeNACs, of which three PeNACs associated with SCW were validated to have an opposite expression trend to that of miR164 in growing bamboo shoots. In addition, three PeNACs were selected and verified to have self-activation activities. These results provide comprehensive information of the NAC gene family in moso bamboo, which will be helpful for further functional studies of PeNACs to reveal the molecular regulatory mechanisms of bamboo wood property.

Phyllocladane diterpenoids, particularly calliterpenone (1) and calliterpenone monoacetate (2), isolated from leaves of Callicarpa macrophylla, produced significantly higher growth and multiplication of in vitro shoot cultures of Rauwolfia serpentina at 0.25 and 0.5 mg/L concentrations, respectively, compared to certain other plant growth regulators (0.1-5.0 mg/L) tested under in vitro conditions. This is the first report of the plant growth promoting activities of 1 and 2 in plant tissue cultures.
