Dr. Bruce Kirchoff of the University of North Carolina at               Greensboro is studying the development of inflorescences and                    flowers in selected species of the plant group Zingiberales,                    which includes bananas, gingers, and other tropical taxa.  The                  analytical component of the project, using light and electron                   microscopy, encompasses detailed determination of the timing and                sequence of initiation and maturation of cellular primordia                     giving rise to floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels),                 their relative degrees of fusion, and their arrangements in                     compound branching structures (inflorescences) which are complex                in this group of plants.  The goal is to map these developmental                events against what is known about the evolutionary history of                  Zingiberales in order to determine trends of floral evolution,                  assessing those patterns that have evolved repeatedly as opposed                to those that are unique.  Such insight will provide an                         understanding of the mechanisms of morphological change in shape                and size in plants.
