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

PI：Keeley，Sterling机构：夏威夷大学ManoaPROPOSAL：Deb 0075095 P.I.提出了一个项目，以建立斑腿蜂亚科的系统学，与致力于菊科菊亚科和进化的研究人员发展新的合作关系(史密森分子系统学实验室)。她将获得叶绿体和核基因组的测序专业知识。这项工作有四个主要目标：1)获得对叶绿体和细胞核中的基因和基因区域进行测序的技术和方法方面的培训，从而获得系统发育信息数据；2)建立第一个斑腿蜂亚族的系统发育；来自所有已知地理区域和所有已知谱系的代表；3)参与正在进行的叶蝉亚科的研究；以及4)确定斑腿蜂亚科中的特定支系，以供未来研究。这一POWRE奖将为PI提供一个机会，让她在过去6年的管理工作中重振她的研究计划。

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.
