The family tree relationships and geographic history of the grape family (Vitaceae) will be investigated with a comprehensive approach that integrates data from DNA analyses, developmental studies, as well as the structural form and geographic distribution of both living and fossil representatives. Characteristics of flowers, seeds, pollen, leaves, and stems will be compared to show the similarities and differences among living and extinct fossil species. Developmental studies on living plants will clarify how mature form is achieved in species of different genera. This information will be analyzed collectively to provide an improved understanding of the evolutionary history of grapes as well as an optimal classification of grapes and closely related genera and species. The project has great potential to contribute to the understanding on how fossils, extant morphology and molecules can be integrated into evolutionary and biogeographic analysis.The project uses an economically and culturally significant plant family as a model for integrating many types of systematic data into one study, providing training opportunities for first-generation college students at the University of Northern Iowa, as well as students abroad during field collections. Colleagues from Nepal and China will also be trained in appropriate molecular techniques and data analyses. Findings from this research will be incorporated into outreach programs in place at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution.

葡萄家族（Vitaceae）的家谱关系和地理历史将采用综合方法进行研究，该方法将整合DNA分析，发育研究以及活体和化石代表的结构形式和地理分布数据。将花、种子、花粉、叶和茎的特征进行比较，以显示现存和已灭绝的化石物种之间的异同。对现存植物的发育研究将阐明不同属的物种是如何形成成熟形态的。这些信息将被集体分析，以提供对葡萄进化史的更好理解，以及葡萄和密切相关的属和种的最佳分类。该项目具有巨大的潜力，有助于了解如何将化石，现存形态和分子整合到进化和生物地理分析中。该项目使用具有经济和文化意义的植物家族作为模型，将多种类型的系统数据整合到一项研究中，为北爱荷华大学的第一代大学生以及在实地收集期间的国外学生提供培训机会。尼泊尔和中国的同事也将接受适当分子技术和数据分析方面的培训。这项研究的结果将被纳入佛罗里达自然历史博物馆和史密森学会的推广项目中。
