摘要:The successive generation continues in angiosperm through flowering. The parent plants of some of the members that belongs to Poaceae family dies after flowering.A member of the sub-family Bambusoideae of Poaceae, bamboos, exhibit similar characteristics. In this paper an attempt have been made to document the incidence of flowering of bamboo in Kokrajhar district of BTAD, Assam. Four bamboo species viz. Bambusa assamica, Bambusa tulda, Dendrocalamus hamiltonii and Melocanna baccifera belonging to three different genera were recorded to flower sporadically during March-May 2015 at Chandrapara, Odlaguri, Baukhungri hills, Chandrapara respectively. All the recorded species were semelparous i.e. the life cycle of the plant ends with flowering. Thus if the flowering continues in the same frequency the time may come in near future when this invaluable natural resource might become endangered or even extinct. Thus, this is the need of the hour to apply biotechnological tools and develop protocols for propagation and conservation and thus, save this green gold from germplasm erosion
