Phylogeny and Biogeography of Australian Garcinia (Clusiaceae) (Old ID 22869)
Role
Chief Investigator
Description
This project will analyse the affinity of close related taxa within Garcinia in Australia. The analysis will use the platform of DArT™ Analysis established by DArT™ Company, Canberra. The DNA samples will be prepared in high quality and quantity templates to allow the restriction enzyme recognises and cuts the restriction sites in the whole genome. The restriction sites will be analysed using DArT™ protocol and software which the in final result will produce DArT™ sequence analysis. This final result will show the affinity of the taxa which can also be used to analyse how the genetic varieties occur such as the shape of the fruits, the colour of the flowers and other minute morphological characters.
