Bamboo is one of the most universally useful plant commodities known to man providing food, raw material, shelter, and even medicine for the greater part of the world’s population. However, information on the basic biology and reproduction for this complex and diverse group of plants lags behind that for other major agronomic plant species. Even the name bamboo is itself a vernacular term for more than 75 genera and 1250 species of the Gramineae (Soderstrom and Ellis, 1988) which are confused taxonomically as a result of their unusual flowering habits. The bamboos occur worldwide and have an extremely wide range of distribution, with some bamboos recorded from a latitude as far north as 46° and as far south as 47°, although the great majority occur in the tropics (Soderstrom and Calderon, 1979).
