CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
|
Systematic Studies In Orchidaceae To study the biodiversity of the Australian Orchidaceae in relation to those of related floras and to carry out systematic, biological and molecular studies of these plants to elucidate their phylogenies. This involves studies in phylogeny and reproductive biology of the Orchidaceae; molecular analysis; systematics of the Orchidaceae of countries in the SW Pacific and Melanesia in relation to Australia; orchid mycorrhizal associations; in vitro propagation of orchids including endangered species. The project also involves compilation of photographic indices of Australian Orchidaceae and of Orchidaceae types. |
