The Fastest-Growing Plant In The World
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- Bamboo is the world’s fastest growing plant thanks to the cell elongation process it shares with all grasses and its unique cell wall layering adaptation, allowing it to shoot up to 100 ft (30m) in just 8 weeks.

To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Rhizome: a continuously growing horizontal underground stem which puts out lateral shoots and roots at intervals
- Vacuole: an organelle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid, whose main purpose in plants is to maintain pressure against the cell wall
- Microfibrils: fiber-like strands consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose that make up the cell wall structure
- Auxin: a plant hormone which causes the elongation of cells in shoots and is involved in regulating plant growth

Hi
Hello I LOVE THR CHANNEL
So how much carbon does it sequester if it grows fast?
Is there a plant that had cell devision and cells that expand?
MinuteEarth oh man I love the wings of fire series I can’t wait for book 14 to come out!!
Fun fact: some places in the world, such as Hong Kong, use bamboo for construction scaffolding, even for skyscrapers
Even in India
Even in minecraft too
Indeed
We use bamboo as foundation mat on soft grounds: Cerucuk Bambu.
@@haveiszalfaroqie1628
Great
Wait, so if grasses grow by inflating their cells, if you cut the grass, how does it keep growing? Does it replace the cells it lost? But wouldn't that then make it grow slower?
Anvil yeah I’m curious too. Off to google I go
Grass grows because the dividing cells are situated at the bottom of the plant near roots unlike most other plants that have it situated at the top. That way even if the grass is cut or eaten, it can grow back as long as it has enough nutrients.
@@mosar52 ooohhhhhh ok. Thanks for saving me the google search! :D
@@mosar52 kinda like hair follicles? (Except the rest of the grass is still alive near the top)

Well, it's more correct to say that bamboo grows by both cell multiplication and cell inflation while trees grow only by cell multiplication.
@@johnwang9914 hi, welcome to a 3 year old comment thread, we shall bring it back to its former glory
@@mikk.t.7824 And yet there are posts from two days ago. If you are going to go with when the idea of grass elongating rather than dividing the cells first occurred then the thread is hundreds to thousands of years old. Just how pedantic are you?
so a bamboo is a grass and i'm eating bamboo shoots so meaning i'm just eating a very hard grass
And if you're eating bread you're just eating ground up grass, and eating rice is just eating grass seed
Also, bamboo shoots are yummy. Especially if you make it into a salad with vinegar and pepper.
@Wilson the I the ones in store, no. Some species of bamboo might though but very rare. So no fear!
@Wilson the I I've eaten bamboo shoot all my life and never come across a poisonous one.
@Wilson the I When I grew up in a small rural village in one of the poorest parts of Thailand. We rarely bought bamboo shoots. Most bamboo shoots we ate were wild bamboo. We often went to the mountain and cut the bamboo shoot ourselves. I understand that the raw wild bamboo shoots might contain some poisonous organism or virus as opposed to the processed commercial one, but perhaps we were accustomed to them and developed an immune system against them.

That's... wow. That's like 6 mm a minute. That brings new meaning to 'watching the grass grow'
If you sit there for 5 minutes the bamboo gets several cm taller. XD
Oh god
He said UP TO 3 feet per day, so I'm assuming it's not always that fast. But it is still pretty crazy that it can even get that fast.
Lol if only.
I don't think it spreads out through time and distance equally
Do the math: if it were 3 feet a day all the time it almost reaches the said 30 meters in just a month.
Also the sun isn't up for the entire day, so maybe it can grow 10 mm per minute!
This is also why it is such a great sustainable product. More and more of my plastic stuff is getting replaced by bamboo. I hate plastics due to the damage it causes the earth and eventually us, so I'll minimize my use of plastics by using bamboo alternatives ^^

If you decide to have bamboo in your garden, think about keeping it in something like a kinda closed pot, because once bamboo spreads its root out, you might not be able to fully remove those roots, having to live with that fast size-increasing plant. But it's impressive what can be made or handycrafted out of bamboo, not just water channels and bicycles
"It's kind of like if giant violent sentient Galapagos finches had been sorted into hogwarts houses and then released on middle earth" is the strangest accurate summary I have ever heard.

I start noticed it when he said "rightful queen", also because i rewatch some GoT clips recently.
Just to illustrate how fast it grows:
If bamboo grows 3 feet (about a meter) a day then you can actually see it grow. Just look at it for like 30 minutes and you'll legit see it grow taller in real time.
For a plant that is Crazy fast!
Also, there are types of bamboo that resist frost so even if you live in more northern parts of the world, you can still have them in your garden.

Bamboo: "I can grow so fast!"

Hey MinuteEarth! great video, I had this question for long time.
But does this means that as the cell elongates it absorbs more CO2 than trees or that's mostly water?
Thanks.
they arent here to tell you that kind of detail, didnt you hear? audible!
@@Elewisisking looool 😂 yall are making me laugh.
No. If you think about about it, you need to have a certain amount of structural material to stay upright, and having anymore isn't very useful. So it follows that both bamboo and trees would evolve to have the same amount of structural material. And, speaking over-generally, it's the structural material that CO2 is sequestered in. So they aren't any better. If you have heard about bamboo being used for carbon sequestration, it is because it grows more dry biomass per arce in the same amount of time.
As the bamboo reinforces its cell walls as it gets taller, it indeed sequesters more carbon. One shoot of bamboo is a lot thinner than a tree, but since one set of roots send up many shoots, you could say that the carbon sequestration is similar to that of a tree. In fact, it may be more, because bamboo grows so quickly.
@@treelife365 cool, it makes sense

Yeah, the old owner of my house, which I’ve been living in for eight years, planted some bamboo in the backyard, we’ve been removing it for years but it always comes back.
Because you don't get the rhyzomes underground.
Most of my furnitures are mostly bamboo especially in the province. Bamboo is the wood I mostly use instead of the wood that came from the trees
I find bamboo very asthetically pleasing.
I find bamboo to be somewhat brittle compared to many other types of wood.
Literally my favorite book series ever. I read it like ten times over.
When wings of fire was mentioned, I was hecking happy, HECK YES!

0:28 "Yup, that's right! Bamboo...along with other grasses is a member of the Poaceae family"

Because I totally knew that.

Commercial use for carbon sequestration? Lets GMO this thing to super-growth and bury all the carbon tonnage in Yucca Mountain
1) It already has super growth.
2) Yucca mountain is nowhere near big enough.
Even though I’m more of an algae sequestration man myself, I really like this idea!
@@Semightus Let's do both. Seaweed too, as there are types that if fed to cattle reduce methane burps. Double whammy.
I want your future to become real, but less for environmental reasons, and more because I want to be able to walk out my front door and see gargantuan bamboo stalks the size of mountains reaching up to the cloud layer, with a horde of harvester drones constantly collecting pieces of the bamboo stalk and other resources, similiar to the 'field of human batteries' scene in the Matrix. One day in this future, we would construct entire cities in the hollowed-out husks of genetically engineered super bamboo. Spacecraft would be flung into orbit from the higher reaches on ingenious catapults, enabling the rise of a colonial space empire.
Of course, in this inevitably dystopian Earth landscape, the income inequality would rise, and the lower classes would live and work near the industrial gathering systems at the base of the bamboo, with little to no sunlight reaching the ground level. During the night the workers would gaze upward from their hard labor and see a sky blotted out with the neon lights of the distant, radiant Cloud District, of glamorous nightlife and grand displays of wealth. There would be tensions in a standard genrepunk fantasy class struggle fashion, ultimately leading to warfare, and at least one time the armies up top would drop some sort of coolass bomb on the people below, who would retaliate with an equally awesome delivery system to be determined at a later date. The ending twist would be the assistance of the Mars Colonists, who are sympathetic with the plight of the revolutionaries due to the canonical events of Red Faction: Guerilla.
Ultimately, the tale would fizzle out after a decent adventure, yet fail to deliver the punch necessary to impact the audience or make a true statement on culture or politics. The film adaptation will be a largely unrelated Ryan Gosling vehicle in which he wears a jacket with bamboo design on the back. But that's just how I feel about it.

@@mr.bluefox3511 Hahahahaha
This is also why we make chopsticks out of bamboo now in China instead of wood. Not only is bamboo harder to break than wood, but it also renews itself far faster than wood.
0:03 3 feet a day is about a meter a day. That's about 12 µm/s or 0.69 mm/min (nice). So, you should, kinda, be able to watch it grow, although you'd probably have to be paying quite a lot attention to it.
I have to say Audible thank you for this sponsorship and for you guys to accept it, because WoF is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE book series.THANK YOU!

So Your telling me that people in Asia actually mow their lawns I thought they used saws to cut the bamboo down
Its on the forest btw is this a joke just questioning
here in méxico, we got a thing called `carrizo` is basically bamboo but, weaker, it not soo tall, or soo resistent, but is as fast as bamboo and, well, it´s basically bamboo, but more tiny
Maybe this is a dumb question, but could bamboo be a more efficient alternative to trees in terms of carbon capture?
Yes general rule of thumb is- faster it grows the more CO2 it consumes.
Wouldn't matter. Even planting trees is a dumb idea for carbon capture, because plants do this thing we call "die", at which point they begin the process of releasing much of their built up carbon via decomposition.
In any case, you'd need billions just to make up for the carbon output of a small country, and then in a few years all the bamboo will just… die at the same time.
@@109Rage Bamboo die in epic event called flowering when it uses all energy to produce seeds. We can use leftover poles for furniture, bamboo fiber or whatever and seeds will regrow new bamboo grove. But yes you are correct it all boils down to producing less carbon as we humans instead of trying to capture those bilions of tons each year.
aren't sea weed the better alternative already?

I know a company in southern China they'd flatten green bamboos with giant rollers into flat sheets of fiber. And then they stack, bake and then vacuum soak the sheets with adhesives to make a very strong and convincing faux ebony/rosewood. It works great as a hard wood alternative and is even more sustainable than plywoods made out of soft wood.
If they could come out with a more flowy PLA-based glue to replace the polyester glue, thay might even become completely biodegradable!

“Fun”
I wouldn't quiet call that a fact, it's based on stories and people have said the same thing about both bamboo and a few other plants. The only study I could find on its feasibility was by Mythbusters where they used ballistics gel, but the problems with that is ballistics gel has a uniform density comparable overall to human flesh. The issue with that is that human flesh is denser at the surface and is backed by muscle, plus a slab of gel cant heal, clot, or move while humans can. There's also the issue that it isnt a 1:1 comparison, so 1 inch of gel isnt quiet the same as 1 inch of flesh. Ballsitic gel is mainly used for ballistics studies for these reasons, and are usually compared against several other studies/measurements to get a more accurate picture.
There's also the issue that most of the stories about bamboos use for torture are apacrophyl: it was mostly a few stories and many of them go like "a refugee claimed they talked to someone who was tortured this way or claimed they saw its use, then told someone else about it, who told someone else about it, before the story was mentioned in a book/article". That can be an issue since refugees/POW's fleeing war, death, and torture dont often make for reliable witnesses when it comes to scientific accuracy. Typically you need a great many people telling the same story wit little variation in that story before it can be regarded as likely to have happened and this story has only popped up a few times spread across several countries, over 150 years of history, and several wars/conflicts.
Another issue is that plants will grow _through_ something but if given the opportunity they'll grow _around_ it, so even if you were to lay there unmoving it's more likely that the bamboo would just grow at an angle around you.
Besides, if your going to torture someone with bamboo there are much easier ways of doing it, such as the proven "bamboo spikes through _____" or "bamboo splinters under nails" or similar tortures that definitely did happen. If you want it to be slow why not impale someone on a spike and leave them there to suffer? Much easier than waiting a few days for a sprout to maybe grow through a guy and hope the for the best.
House of Poaceae, hahaha. I right imagine House of Pinaceae says just you wait, for *winter is coming* and just flipping bamboo the middle needle 🤣 Photosynthesize this!
