Under the direction of faculty adviser Dr. Schilling,                      graduate student Mr. Panero will conduct field work in several                  countries of Andean South America, collecting samples of ca. 25                 species of the sunflower group Helianthopsis. To improve our                    ability to recognize species in this genus and to construct an                  hypothesis about evolutionary relationships among the species                   and their closest generic relatives, Mr. Panero will study                      traditional morphological characters and will add new evidence                  derived from chromosome analysis, electron-microscopy of floral                 features, and biochemical study of flavonoids. Mr. Panero has                   conducted field work in the tropics in the past, and has planned                an effective program of sampling and analysis to complete a                     modern taxonomic revision of this group of poorly known tropical                plants. Dr. Schilling is an expert on the taxonomy and evolution                of the sunflower family of plants.
