Bamboo occupies an important phylogenetic node in the grass family and plays a significant role in the forest industry. We produced 1.2 Mb of tetraploid moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens E. Mazel ex H. de Leh.) sequences from 13 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones, and these are the largest genomic sequences available so far from the subfamily Bambusoideae. The content of repetitive elements (36.2%) in bamboo is similar to that in rice. Both rice and sorghum exhibit high genomic synteny with bamboo, which suggests that rice and sorghum may be useful as models for decoding Bambusoideae genomes.
竹子在禾本科中占据一个重要的进化节点，在林业中发挥着重要作用。我们从 13 个细菌人工染色体 (BAC) 克隆中获得了 1.2Mb 的四倍体毛竹 (Phyllostachys pubescens E. Mazel ex H. de Leh.) 序列，这是迄今为止亚科中最大的基因组序列。竹子中的重复元件含量（36.2%）与水稻相似。水稻和高粱与竹子具有高度的基因组同线性，这表明水稻和高粱可能是破译禾本科基因组的有用模型。
