Role of floral trichomes in evolution of Calydorea Herbert. (Iridaceae): investigation through evolutionary studies, reproductive biology and anatomy
Project summary:
The genus Calydorea (Iridaceae) has unresolved taxonomy and includes three monophyletic groups. This project explores whether some species have functional elaiophores, influencing evolution and taxonomy. We will investigate reproductive biology, floral visitors, and trichome function in four species. Finally, conservation status will be assessed using IUCN criteria, as many species may be threatened.
