Investigating evolutionary relationships and species boundaries in Indian Ipomoea L.
Project summary:
This project reconstructs phylogenetic relationships and evaluates species boundaries in Indian Ipomoea using nuclear and plastid markers. By integrating molecular data with documented morphological variation, the study addresses taxonomic uncertainty, identifies potential cryptic lineages, and establishes a foundation for future evolutionary and genomic investigations.
