| Bamboos are woody grasses, the culms of which live for several years before being replaced by others. |
| The main culms of the plants were harvested at anthesis, 18 days post-anthesis and at maturity. |
| The primary coils are probably made from culms of deergrass. |
| When a bamboo flowers, most of the leaves are replaced by flowers, transpiration stops, the plant lives on reserves and then all the culms die. |
| This paper deals with the characterization of the micro-structure of bamboo culms by Digital Image Analysis. |
| We also realized that the culms of plants tend to elongate as the growing season progresses. |
