ACCELERATING TAXONOMIC RESEARCH ON INDIAN BEGONIA
Project summary:
The genus Begonia L. is renowned for its taxonomic and nomenclatural complexities. A comprehensive taxonomy account and studies on phylogenetic relationships of Indian Begonia are still wanting. The present work is an attempt to solve the taxonomic controversies of the genus in India and the documentation of its diversity and endemism. The proposed work will be the first attempt to study the molecular phylogeny of the genus Begonia in India.
