Fastest growing plants, Bamboos

Bamboos are among the most indispensable plants.  Bamboos are unique plants due to their high ligno-cellulose rich biomass, lightness, strength, hollowness and ability to be mechanized into different products. In the list of fastest growing plants, bamboo is on the top. It can grow at an amazing rate of 1 meter per day. It can reach tremendous heights of up to 30 meters within 2-4 months. Different species of bamboo grows in different season; for e.g., Dendrocalamus hamiltonii grows in monsoon, whereas, Phyllostachys edulis grows in spring. Genetic basis of growth is recently reveled by our research group (Bhandawat et al. 2017).
