Case Study of Bamboo Through Micropropagation
Bamboo is the most precious grass plant and is often referred to as poor man’s gold. It is said to be as green gold. There are a large variety of bamboo species are found. These large woody grass plants are mostly grown in Asia and Africa. It is used for constructing buildings, pillars, furniture’s, roofs etc. Even though earthquake doesn’t affect bamboo building in Japan. In Vietnam, bamboo is commonly used in building construction. It plays a vital role in manufacturing large varieties of products such as paper, tooth picks, Agarbatti sticks, charcoal powder, Tissue paper etc. Bamboo charcoal powder is used has a face pack to cleanse the dust from the face used as a cosmetic and also mixed with cement for the strength. The bamboo products are also available for healthy weightloss. The shoot of young bamboo is used to prepare a variety of delicious dishes and is known for their high nutritional value. It also helps in controlling air pollution as well as plays an important role in mitigating climatic changes. It causes the drastic changes if we grow this grass plant in each and every place. We can produce large number of bamboos through plant tissue culture technology or Micro propagation.
