Abstract:
Root anatomy was examined for 15 species, in 6 of the 11 tribes of the Bambusoideae. Wide ranges of anatomical variation were found in epidermis, exodermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, phloem, xylem, and pith. Although roots of most species seem to resemble the Panicoid type, our study shows much more variation than was described by Goller (1977). These variations could play a role in characterizing taxa within tribes.
