Summary

Molecular evolution of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bamboo" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:bamboo">bamboos</a> (grass subfamily Bambusoideae): Phylogram showing the three tribes, with branch lengths corresponding to nucleotide substitutions.

The herbaceous bamboos (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olyreae" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Olyreae">Olyreae</a>) have much longer branches than the woody bamboos (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arundinarieae" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Arundinarieae">Arundinarieae</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambuseae" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Bambuseae">Bambuseae</a>). This is explained by their shorter generation times, which lead to higher mutution rates. Woody bamboos are known for the long intervals between flowering and thus long generation times.
