Molecular analysis of predominantly Indian incertae sedis genera from the
tribe Andropogoneae (Poaceae) using chloroplast genome
Project summary:
The present work involves assessing systematic positions of genera such as Parahyparrhenia, Pseudodichanthium, Bhidea, Pseudanthistiria, Pogonachne, Triplopogon, and Lakshmia based on the chloroplast genome. These genera in a recent phylogenetic classification of world grasses were treated as incertae sedis (unplaced) because of the absence of molecular data. They show the most unique features in the tribe Andropogoneae thus are required to be carefully studied for their systematic position.
