Abstract:

The progress of genomics research on bamboo is summarized in this review. I focus on development of molecular markers (RAPD, RFLP, AFLP and ISSR) and their application on bamboo studies, including bamboo genes related to flowering, cell wall synthesis, photosynthesis and stress tolerance, the genome sequencing of bamboo and comparative genomics with other species. The basic research on bamboo genomics is still missing and the bamboo gene functions are hard identified. Therefore, bamboo genetic transformation system should be established, and the research on comparative and functional genomics and the molecular marker-assisted breeding should be emphasized in the future.

Key words: bamboo, genomics, molecular marker, functional gene, sequence, comparative genomics
