Foreword
Bamboos are considered as the “green gold of the forest” as these have improved
many facets of rural livelihood while strengthening urban sector. Bamboos have
beentraditionallyusedasconstructionmaterialforruralhousing,food,and,lastbut
notleast,handicraftproducts.Intoday’stimes,however,itsuseshavebecomemore
diverse.Presently,bambooshaveemergedasoneofthemostimportantrenewable
resources for food, fuel, paper, pulp, textile, plywood, etc. Therefore, the annual
demands for bamboos have already outcrossed the annual yields across the world.
Andthecurrentscenariohasforcedscientiststopaymoreattentiontotheutilization
ofbiotechnologicaltoolsforbetterunderstandingandimprovingbamboos.Modern
biotechnologiesaremoreandmoreappliedinbambooresearchandpracticeandwill
bring deep influence on the development of bamboo. The concerns in this book
initiallybeginwithachapterintroducingtheglobaldistributionofthebamboo.The
book provides an overview of the adoption of biotechnological approaches to
advance bamboo research for better utilization of bamboo resources for human
beings. Various applications of biological techniques related to bamboo have been
discussed in detail, for example, plant tissue culture techniques, somatic embryo-
genesis, germplasm conservation techniques, utilization of molecular markers,
transcriptomics,polymorphism,andphylogeneticanalysis.Thebookalsoaddresses
novel industrial applications of bamboo in structural, food and pharmaceutical
applications along with traditional uses in detail. The book is a reference text with

Preface
Bamboo is considered as a multipurpose plant and has a prolonged history as an
adaptableandextensivelyusedrenewableresourceinconventionalandcommercial
applications. Therefore, the annual demands for bamboos have already outcrossed
the annual yields across the world. Increasing population pressure; indiscriminate
exploitationbypaper,pulp,andfuelindustry;andinsufficientattemptstoreplenish
and cultivate bamboos are further widening the gap between demand and supply.
Andthecurrentscenariohasforcedscientiststopaymoreattentiontotheutilization
of biotechnological tools for better understanding and improving bamboos. As a
result, new insights into bamboos were gained through various biotechnological
approaches. The book provides an overview of the adoption of biotechnological
approaches to advance bamboo research for better utilization of bamboo resources
forhuman beings.Variousapplicationsofbiologicaltechniques related tobamboo
havebeendiscussedindetail,forexample,planttissueculturetechniques,somatic
embryogenesis, germplasm conservation techniques, utilization of molecular
markers,transcriptomics,polymorphism,andphylogeneticanalysis.Beinginvolved
in this area, we comprehend that information on the application of the biotechno-
logicalapproachesinbambooisstillobscure,andthereisnosinglebookavailable
on this aspect. This volume comprises several chapters on relevant topics contrib-
utedbyexpertsworkinginthefieldofplantbiotechnologysoastomakeavailablea
comprehensive treatise designed to provide an in-depth analysis of the subject in
question. The book is a compilation of 20 chapters with relevant text, tables, and

be useful in the planning and execution of various experiments smoothly and
effectively.Thepresentbookaimstoinducenewoutlookstoscientists/researchers
