Bamboo 201 ~ Bamboo for Scientists
This area is reserved for only
the highest level papers of bamboo science. Scholars are encouraged
to submit documents pertaining to biological aspects of bamboo such
as anatomy, biochemistry, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, morphology,
pathology, and so on. These papers may include theory, novel investigative
techniques, and other actual results of research. The papers will
be reviewed by ABS-SoCal as well as by those who visit this portion
of the ABS-SoCal Web site. All papers should be submitted to CarlRowland1@cox.net.
The file type should be .doc or .pdf.

Grant Proposal
Scientists are encouraged to review the following proposal. The intent
of the proposal is to encourage serious thinking about the biggest
question in bamboo biology: what is the molecular mechanism responsible
for inducing flowering in bamboo after many years of asexual growth?
A multi-pronged approach has been set forth to solve this mystery.
Comments on how to improve the experimental design are welcome.

Bamboo Seeds from 1932?
I, Roy Wiersma, obtained these vials of bamboo seeds from the Walling
Lab at the University of California, Riverside, in 1996 or early 1997.
It appears that they are from 1932. I have not been able to identify
the non-English script on the vials. If you recognize this writing and
can transliterate or translate it please contact Webmaster Carl
Rowland. The writing probably indicates the species of bamboo in
the local language where it was collected. The parts that I can read
are as follows: "23/3/32 KLAJ [or KLAI]", "D. brandisii
13/2/32", "Bambusa burmanica 13/2/32", and "14/3/32
Bambusa arundinacea."
