...l (mt) genome of the pet bamboo rat Rhizomys pruinosus, which had a problem in standing and walking in a Bamboo farm in Wenzhou, China was carried out, using its tibia. The mt genome (16,579 bp) is composed of 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes. The ratio of the bases of the mt genome of R. pruinosus from Wenzhou are A (32.31%), T (31.04%), C (24.77%), G (11.88%), A+T (63.35%), respe...

...habitat. Among habitats, bamboo planting areas showed the highest diversity index and richness index of rodent community, while farmland harbored the highest dominance index and lowest diversity index. Rodent communities were classified into three categories, namely meadow type, forest type, and farmland type. The present study provides a comprehensive inventory of rodent species diversity of the reserve, and is of great significance in the protection and cons...

Economic and feasibility of bamboo cultivation on farmlands

...lump. The propagation of bamboos by seed is most successful but many of the bamboos flower and seed after long intervals. Seeding cycles vary from species to species and may be 30-100 years (Banik, 1980). Due to long inter-seeding intervals, the propagation is done vegetatively. Bamboo cultivation by rhizome planting is the most common method applied in this country. Normally, it takes 10 ...

Suitability of some woody and non-woody raw-materials for pulp and paper as based on fiber dimension

... and paper, followed by bamboos and other grasses. Most of the hardwoods and shrubby materials yield short fiber. To produce a strong paper from hardwoods and shrubby materials use of a pulp furnish of softwoods and/or bamboos is recommended. In addition to fiber dimensions, economic availability is the main governing factor in the use of a raw material for pulp....

One year old tube plants of bamboo were planted at 2 x 2, 3 x 3 and 6x6 m spacing, replicated 3 times using 180, 84 and 24 plants in all the treatments respectively. In the first three years of the study, inter-cropping was done with maize, barseem and wheat. Afterwards it was not possible...

Dacca, under the Moghul rule, was a great ship building centre and its timber supply was from the Chittagong Hill Tracts (STEBBING, 1921). The Chittagong Hill Tracts have since ancient times been inhabited by the Chakma, Mog, Murung, Tripura, and Lushai tribes who subsist on shifting cultivation (jhuming). They cut and burn ...

...alamus asper, a tropical bamboo variety renowned for its economic significance across industries like food, construction, and handicrafts, is presently a surge in demand for large-scale propagation and sustained supply. Traditional propagation methods are inconvenient and time-intensive. As an alternative, micropropagation techniques are opted to overcome these challenges. This research aimed to develop a micropropagation protocol for expanding D. asper
