Abstract

Abstract: Bamboo, the fast-growing grass plant, and rattan, the spiky climbing palm, are both essential forest resources that have been closely linked with human lives, livelihoods and material culture since ancient times. To promote genetic and genomic research in bamboo and rattan, a comprehensive and coordinated international project, the Genome Atlas of Bamboo and Rattan (GABR), was launched in 2017. GABR achieved great success during Phase I (2017-2022). We will focus on investigating and protecting bamboo and rattan germplasm resources in Phase II ( 2022-2027). Here, we briefly review the achievements of Phase I and introduce the goals of Phase II.
