Dissertation Research: Systematics of the Genus Mulinum Pers. (Apiaceae)

James Zech博士是博士生，在Dr. 俄亥俄州州立大学的托德·斯图西将进行一项 本文报道了我国重要的木本植物--Mulinum属的系统学研究 约有21种，分布于南方。 南美洲.该属是一个鲜为人知的家庭成员 伞形科，野生胡萝卜。该研究将包括收集 南美之旅，并与智利合作研究 和阿根廷植物学家，斯图西博士和他们一起建立了 多年来良好的工作关系。这项研究涉及一个 一系列现代技术，包括比较生物化学， 染色体和解剖学研究。这些数据集将允许 重建该属的进化历史， 分支系统学是一种重建进化的方法论， 树木，由于数字计算机的发展而变得实用。

James Zech, a doctoral student under the direction of Dr. Tod Stuessy at the The Ohio State University, will undertake a systematic study of the plant genus Mulinum which is an assemblage of approximately 21 species occurring in southern South America. The genus is a poorly known member of the family Apiaceae, the wild carrots. The study will include collecting trips to South America and collaborative research with Chilean and Argentinian botanists with whom Dr. Stuessy has established good working relationships over the years. The study involves a battery of modern techniques including comparative biochemical, chromosomal and anatomical studies. These data sets will permit reconstruction of the evolutionary history of the genus using cladistics, which is a methodology to reconstruct evolutionary trees, made practical by the development of digital computers.
