Anatomical and microstructure studies on four of cultivated tropical bamboo species of genus
Gigantochloa were studied. Gigantochloa brang, G. levis, G. scotechinii and G. wrayi of age-group 3
were selected, harvested and processed for use in the studies. The studies focussed mainly on the vascular
bundles and fibers located at the internodes and nodes at the outer, middle and inner sections of the
bamboo culm wall. The sizes of the vascular bundles length, vascular bundles width, fiber length, fiber
diameter, fiber lumens diameter, fiber walls thickness and fiber Runkle’s ratio were measured between
each of the species in relation to the samples positions at the internodes, nodes, and positions in the crosssection
of the bamboo culms. The results in the fibers morphology studies showed that the fibers for each
species have different lengths, diameters, cell walls thickness and lumen sizes. The size of vascular
bundle is smaller at outer position and becomes bigger at the inner position. All the four (4) bamboo
species exhibited similar in characteristics but their anatomical features and microstructures were
different. |
