Phylogeny and Taxonomic Revision of genera in clade Maranta (Marantaceae).
Project summary:
Marantaceae is a pantropical family made of five major clades. This project focus on clade Maranta, the biggest gap of knowledge. I will perform an integrative phylogeny and a revisional taxonomic treatment to understand the type-genus Maranta and its seven closely related genera in morphology and kinship.
