Allelopathic nature of some bamboos. On many hillsides of mountainous districts in Taiwan, there is a vast area of bamboo plantations, and in the Chitou area we often found Cryptomeria laponica (conifer) and Phyllostachys edulis (bamboo) growing adjacent to one another. However, the P. edulis often encroaches on the C japonica area, resulting in the gradual decline of...

Bamboo is often used in the same ways that wood is, for furniture and as a building material. But bamboo is actually in the Poaceae, or grass family. Two genera, Bambusa and Phyllostachys, produce bamboo that is used for construction, weaving, papermaking, and for food.

As mentioned previously (Chap. 2.2.2.4.1), the major purpose of the GC-MS analysis of a nitrobenzene or cupric oxide oxidation mixture is to verify the identity of the oxidation products established previously by GC or HPLC analysis, and to elucidate the structure of unknown constituents. For example, GC-MS analysis of the nitrobenzene oxidation mixture of milled bamboo lignin from Phyllostachys pubescence showed unequivocally that compounds (l)-(3) in the total ion chromatogram of the oxidation mixture (Fig. 6.2.2) are indeed p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, vanillin, and syringaldehyde, respectively (Tai et al. 1990) (see Chap. 9.1 for a discussion of the GC-MS technique). In addition, the unknown compound in the chromatogram was identified as p-hydroxyazobenzene (15) (Fig. 6.2.1), one of the phenolic reduction products of nitrobenzene.

Materials Three kinds of plants, a bamboo(Moso bamboo, Phyllostachys pubescens Maxel), a Japanese cedar(Ciyptmerla japonica D. Don), and a toneriko(Fraxinux japonica Blume) were used to examine the sensing ability of their cells of stem and branch stem for external mechanical stimuli.
