Taxonomic revision and phylogeny of Psidium sect. Mitranthes (O.Berg) Tuler & Proença (Myrtaceae)

Project summary:

The Caribbean represents a gap in the knowledge of Myrtaceae, especially for the neotropical lineages, such as Psidium, an economically important genus. One of the world's biodiversity hotspots, the region has a high number of endemic species. Our aim is to carry out a taxonomic and evolutionary study of Psidium sect. Mitranthes, in order to understand the circumscription of species and the evolution and diversification of the genus, throughout Sanger and NGS sequencing methods. A grant from IAPT would be used to cover costs associated with herbarium visit in Florida and fieldwork to Cuba.
