Abstract
Bin Han and colleagues report the draft genome of moso bamboo, an important non-timber forest product. RNA sequencing analysis of bamboo flowering tissues suggests a connection between drought-responsive genes and potential flowering genes. Bamboo represents the only major lineage of grasses that is native to forests and is one of the most important non-timber forest products in the world. However, no species in the Bambusoideae subfamily has been sequenced. Here, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of moso bamboo (P. heterocycla var. pubescens). The 2.05-Gb assembly covers 95% of the genomic region. Gene prediction modeling identified 31,987 genes, most of which are supported by cDNA and deep RNA…
