<p><span style='font-family:Arial'>I reconstructed the phylogeny of the genus, <em><span style='font-family:Arial'>Helianthus</span></em> (<span class=SpellE>Asteraceae</span>). Because a third of the species are thought to be of hybrid origin I used four independent nuclear markers and four plastid markers to recover the reticulate phylogenetic history for the genus. Although not completely resolved, these data were used to describe some very complex and interesting hybrid relationships in the perennial sunflowers. The evolution of secondary chemistry also was examined from flavonoid and STL characters extensively collected on sunflowers in the 1980s. </span></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center> </span></div> <p><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#00A604'>Masters:</span></p> <p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Advisor for Masters Degree: <a href="http://userwww.sfsu.edu/~patters/plab/index.html" title="patterson lab link">Dr. Bob Patterson</a></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Molecular phylogeny of <span class=SpellE><i>Polemonium</i></span><i> </i>(<span class=SpellE>Polemoniaceae</span>). <a href="photoframepage.html" title="Polemonium pictures">Pictures</a></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center> </span></div> <p align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:Arial'><a href="..:index.html">Home</a> | <a href="research.html">Research</a> | <a href="pictures.html">Photos</a> | <a href="http://www.life.umd.edu/labs/delwiche/index.html"><span class=SpellE>Delwiche</span> Lab</a> | <a href="#Anchor-University-49575">University of Maryland</a></span><o:p></o:p></p> </td> <td width=1 style='width:1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:822.0pt'> <spacer type=block width=1 height=822> </td> </tr> <tr style='mso-yfti-irow:1;mso-yfti-lastrow:yes;height:1.0pt' cntrlrow=cntrlrow> <td width=650 style='width:650.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:1.0pt'> <spacer type=block width=650 height=1> </td> <td width=1 style='width:1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;height:1.0pt'></td> </tr> </table> </div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> </div> </body> </html>
