Phylogenomics, capsule evolution and taxonomic revision of Portulaca L. (Portulacaceae)
Project summary:
Portulaca is a cosmopolitan genus with high species diversity in South America and Africa. This study integrates a comprehensive taxonomic revision of southern South American and Brazilian species with a genomic phylogenetic framework, aiming to clarify species limits, reconstruct capsule character evolution, and propose a revised infrageneric classification.
