POWRE: Phylogeny and Subfamily Position of the Vernonieae (Cichorioideae, Asteraceae)

PI：Keeley，Sterling研究所： 夏威夷大学马诺提案编号：DEB 0075095提出了一个项目，以建立一个斑鸠菊族的系统发育，发展新的合作与研究人员的亚科菊苣和进化内的菊科（史密森分子系统学实验室）。 她将获得叶绿体和核基因组测序的专业知识。 本工作的主要目的是：1）获得叶绿体和细胞核基因和基因区域测序的技术和方法的培训，从而获得植物遗传学信息数据; 2）构建第一个斑鸠菊族亚族系统，包括所有已知地理区域和所有已知谱系的代表; 3）参与正在进行的菊苣亚科研究;（4）确定斑鸠菊族内的特定分支，为今后的研究提供依据。 这个POWRE奖将为PI提供一个机会，在过去6年的管理工作后重振她的研究计划。

PI:Keeley, Sterling INSTITUTION: Univ of Hawaii ManoaPROPOSAL: DEB 0075095The P.I. proposes a project to establish a phylogeny for Vernonieae, develop new collaborations with researchers working on the subfamily Cichorioideae and evolution within the Asteraceae (Smithsonian's Laboratory of Molecular Systematics). She will acquire sequencing expertise for chloroplast and nuclear genomes. There are four main objectives of this work: 1) obtain training in techniques and approaches for sequencing genes and gene regions in the chloroplast and nucleus that lead to phylogenetically informative data; 2) construct the first subtribal phylogeny for the Vernonieae with representative from all known geographical areas and from all known lineages; 3) participate in ongoing studies of the Cichorioideae; and 4) identify specific clades within the Vernonieae for future study. This POWRE award will provide the PI with a chance to reinvigorate her research program after having spent the last 6 years in adminstration.
