Predominance of a single clone of the most widely distributed bamboo species Phyllostachys edulis in East Asia.

Abstract excerpt

Phyllostachys edulis, one of the most dominant bamboo species with the leptomorph rhizome system, has been asexually expanding its range into adjacent natural forest sites by shooting new culms. The resulting ecological problems include simplification of stand structure and decline in the species diversity of local flora. In this study, the genetic diversity of P. edulis for the entire distribution range from...
