Palynological study of the “multiple of four clade” (Bignoniaceae) and its systematic significance

Project summary:

This project investigates the evolution of pollen morphology in the Multiple of Four Clade (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae) by integrating palynological and phylogenetic data. It characterizes pollen grains, maps morphological characters onto a molecular phylogeny, and infers ancestral states, assessing their systematic value for genus and species delimitation and their evolutionary significance within the family.
