The accumulation of heavy metals in water streams and soil is considered a grave environmental threat that impacts plants and animals. Biochar has recently been widely used to overcome the effects of heavy metal contamination in plants and remediate the soil. A pot-trial study assessed the morphological traits of Bambusa balcooa under copper contamination. Each pot (twenty-four earthen pots) was filled with 7.0 kg of soil and spiked with copper sulfate of 0, 300, 600, and 1200 mg kg-1. Of the total, twelve pots were amended with 7% (w/w of soil) bamboo biochar. Plant samples were harvested after one year (365 days) of treatment for biomass estimation. Data was recorded for different growth and morphological traits such as the number of clums, nodes, leaves, internode length, plant height, leaf area, root length, and dry biomass of root, shoot, and leaf to evaluate the impact of copper with or without bamboo biochar on Bambusa balcooa. The results indicated that the higher concentration of copper suppressed growth parameters such as shoot length, internode length, number of leaves, and leaf area; therefore, growth increment was significantly reduced at ) mg Kg‑1 copper-added soil. Biochar diminishes the impact of Cu stress on plants to some extent as at higher concentrations (600 and 1200 mg kg-1) was enhanced root dry biomass (51 and 148%), shoot dry biomass (42 and 57%), and leaf dry biomass (38 and 48%). Thus, results confirm that biochar amendment under Bambusa balcooa reduces the impact of copper contamination on the plant and increases plant growth by improving soil health, suggesting that bamboo biochar application was effective in metal stabilization, thereby, reducing the bioavailability and phytotoxicity of Cu and can help to restore copper-contaminated soil.

Bamboo shoots are a unique and versatile ingredient that has been a part of traditional cuisine and medicine in India for centuries. This review article provides an overview of the culinary heritage of bamboo shoots in India, with a particular focus on the Northeast region. The article discusses the traditional methods of consumption and processing of bamboo shoots, along with the various traditional recipes that use bamboo shoots. The article also explores the nutraceutical potential of bamboo shoots and its bioactive components, along with the role of hydrogen cyanide in bamboo shoots. Furthermore, the impact of bamboo shoots on human health is analyzed. The review concludes with future prospects and the need for further research to fully understand the potential of bamboo shoots as a source of food and medicine.
