Dissertation Research: Systematics of the Vochysiaceae: Small Family, Big Questions

小行星9520713 这项研究涉及DNA序列数据的分子分析，以建立热带植物科Vochysiaceae成员之间的进化关系。 系统发育关系将重建叶绿体rbcL和ndhL序列和扫描电子显微镜将被用来检查某些字符（例如，雄蕊）的发展演变。 该科植物具有局部分布和间断分布的特点，值得研究。 本研究的意义在于阐明该科植物花型的发育演化、传粉生物学和地理分布。

9520713 Mori This research involves molecular analysis of DNA sequence data to establish evolutionary relationships among members of the tropical plant family Vochysiaceae. Phylogenetic relationships will be reconstructed using chloroplast rbcL and ndhL sequences and scanning electron microscopy will be used to examine the developmental evolution of certain characters (for example, stamens). This plant family is worthy of study because of its topical and disjunct distribution. The significance of the research is one of elucidating the developmental evolution of floral patterns, pollination biology and the biogeographic distribution of members of this family.
