Researchers can screen out gene resources that are drought-resistant, cold-resistant and disease-resistant through molecular methods combined with traditional breeding to enhance the climate adaptability of Phyllostachys edulis (Lan et al., 2023b). Meanwhile, high-value bamboo species containing functional components that can be used in multiple industries such as food, building materials and medicine can also be developed to expand the industrial chain and improve economic and ecological benefits (Gao, 2021; Lan et al., 2023b). In the future, the combination of molecular marker-assisted selection, gene editing and multi-omics integration will drive Phyllostachys edulis breeding towards intelligence and efficiency (Gao, 2021; Huang et al., 2022a; Lan et al., 2023b).
