项目摘要
This project will determine when vascular plants evolved and how they are related. Vascular plants include lycopods, ferns and their allies, as well as conifers and flowering plants. They form the foundation of nearly all terrestrial ecosystems and our food supply, yet scientists disagree about when and how they evolved. Current methods for estimating evolutionary timelines for these species have led to conflicting answers, as they rely on the ability of researchers to assign extinct fossil species correctly to particular branch points in the tree of life. This assignment is challenging to do because extinct species may have morphology that can be interpreted differently. Researchers will refine a new data analysis method to address this limitation. They will compare the DNA sequences of living vascular plants and incorporate morphological data from both living and extinct species to reconstruct their evolutionary relationships. During this process, researchers will apply new computer algorithms to estimate the evolutionary timeline for the species. Researchers will train undergraduate and graduate students, including members of under-represented groups, and support the professional development of an early-career researcher. They will educate the public about plant evolution by creating an interpretive exhibit at the University of California Berkeley and by producing a series of online video lessons for high school students and educators.This project will develop a new total-evidence dating method to reconstruct the next-generation of time-calibrated phylogenetic hypotheses that incorporate both extinct and extant species. Researchers will leverage DNA sequence data collected by an existing NSF award to reconstruct a backbone phylogeny of ca. 300 extant vascular plants using nuclear genomic data. They will also collect morphological data for ca. 300 traits from these species as well as ca. 200 extinct fossil species. These data will be simultaneously integrated by the software program RevBayes to infer a time-calibrated phylogeny. This program combines sophisticated tree-shape priors, powerful models of morphological evolution, and recently developed methods for relaxing the molecular clock. Project outcomes will include a robust estimate of vascular plant divergence times and patterns of morphological evolution with an explicit measure of the full associated uncertainty of that estimate. The project will support research by sharing new and legacy morphological datasets in the online, open-access PROTEUS database and by hosting a training workshop focused on refining the theory and practice of divergence-time dating. Research will strengthen collaborations among US and international scientists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
这个项目将确定维管束植物何时进化以及它们是如何相关的。维管束植物包括番茄、蕨类及其同种植物,以及针叶植物和开花植物。它们构成了几乎所有陆地生态系统和我们食物供应的基础,但科学家们对它们何时以及如何进化存在分歧。目前估计这些物种进化时间表的方法导致了相互矛盾的答案,因为它们依赖于研究人员将灭绝的化石物种正确地分配到生命树上的特定分支点的能力。这项任务很难完成,因为灭绝物种的形态可能会有不同的解释。研究人员将改进一种新的数据分析方法来解决这一限制。他们将比较活的维管植物的DNA序列,并纳入来自活的和灭绝的物种的形态数据,以重建它们的进化关系。在这个过程中,研究人员将应用新的计算机算法来估计该物种的进化时间表。研究人员将培训本科生和研究生,包括代表性不足群体的成员,并支持职业生涯早期研究人员的专业发展。他们将通过在加州大学伯克利分校制作一个解释性展览,并为高中生和教育工作者制作一系列在线视频课程来教育公众关于植物进化的知识。这个项目将开发一种新的全证据测年方法,以重建包括灭绝和现存物种的下一代时间校准的系统发育假说。研究人员将利用现有NSF奖项收集的DNA序列数据,使用核基因组数据重建约300种现存维管植物的骨干系统发育。他们还将收集这些物种约300个特征的形态数据,以及约200个已灭绝的化石物种的形态数据。这些数据将由软件程序RevBayes同时整合,以推断出经过时间校准的系统发展史。这个程序结合了复杂的树形先验,强大的形态进化模型,以及最近开发的放松分子时钟的方法。项目成果将包括对维管植物分化时间和形态进化模式的可靠估计,以及对该估计的全部相关不确定性的明确衡量。该项目将通过在开放获取的在线Proteus数据库中共享新的和遗留的形态数据集,并主办一次侧重于完善分歧时间测年理论和实践的培训讲习班,来支持研究。研究将加强美国和国际科学家之间的合作。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
