Protein deficiency is common amongst subsistence farmers in much of the developing world. It has been estimated, for example, that over one third of residents of rural Malawi are protein deficient. Adding to this problem in Malawi is the fact that there is only one brief rainy season, during which all crops are grown. Other countries with as dry a climate in the region have low population density, which allows them to reap more from their annual maize harvest. Meanwhile, countries in the region with similarly high population density as Malawi are able to grow higher value crops because of …


Floral Traits Underlying Evolution In Gilia Yorkii, Joseph Detemple, Veronica Mosquera, Clinton Whipple Apr 2020

Floral Traits Underlying Evolution In Gilia Yorkii, Joseph Detemple, Veronica Mosquera, Clinton Whipple

Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2020

Gilia yorkii and Gilia capitata are two closely related species that have remarkably different inflorescence and floral structures. In this project we are seeking to find specific floral traits that differentiate the different species. These two species are ideal for this study because they produce a fertile hybrid in which elements of the two different phenotypes can be observed.
