Genera delimitation and floral evolution in the Cyclanthera clade (Cucurbitaceae, Sicyoeae)
Project summary:
My PhD project proposes the re-evaluation of phylogenetic relationships and generic circumscriptions within the Cyclanthera clade, and the reconstruction of hypotheses to understand the evolution of its complex floral morphology. The purpose of the visit to MEXU is to complete my taxonomic review of the Cyclanthera clade species, and to expand the DNA sampling for phylogenetic analyses.
