Molecular phylogeny and historical biogeography of the genus Sonerila (Melastomataceae) with special emphasis on India
Project summary:
The present project is focused on Sonerila (Melastomataceae), a species-rich, taxonomically complex, tropical Old World genus and on the infraspecific and intergeneric relationships of the taxa using molecular approaches. Monophyly of a genus is important for a stable classification system, and here we test this explicitly because it has been shown that several genera in tribe Sonerileae are polyphyletic.
