Abstract

Bamboo and rattan are widely grown for manufacturing, horticulture, and agroforestry. Bamboo and rattan production might help reduce poverty, boost economic growth, mitigate climate change, and protect the natural environment. Despite progress in research, sufficient molecular and genomic resources to study these species are lacking. We launched the Genome Atlas of Bamboo and Rattan (GABR) project, a comprehensive, coordinated international effort to accelerate understanding of bamboo and rattan genetics through genome analysis. GABR includes 2 core subprojects: Bamboo-T1K (Transcriptomes of 1000 Bamboos) and Rattan-G5 (Genomes of 5 Rattans), and several other subprojects. Here we describe the organization, directions, and status of GABR.

摘要

竹子和藤本植物广泛种植，用于制造、园艺和农林复合经营。竹子和藤本植物的生产有助于减少贫困，促进经济增长，减缓气候变化，保护自然环境。尽管在研究方面取得了进展，但缺乏足够的分子和基因组资源来研究这些物种。我们启动了竹藤基因组图谱计划（GABR），这是一项全面协调的国际努力，旨在通过基因组分析加速对竹藤遗传的理解。GABR 包括 2 个核心子项目：Bamboo-T1K（1000 种竹子的转录组）和 Rattan-G5（5 种藤本植物的基因组），以及其他几个子项目。在这里，我们描述了 GABR 的组织、方向和现状。
