James Zech, a doctoral student under the direction of Dr.                  Tod Stuessy at the The Ohio State University, will undertake a                  systematic study of the plant genus Mulinum which is an                         assemblage of approximately 21 species occurring in southern                    South America. The genus is a poorly known member of the family                 Apiaceae, the wild carrots. The study will include collecting                   trips to South America and collaborative research with Chilean                  and Argentinian botanists with whom Dr. Stuessy has established                 good working relationships over the years. The study involves a                 battery of modern techniques including comparative biochemical,                 chromosomal and anatomical studies. These data sets will permit                 reconstruction of the evolutionary history of the genus using                   cladistics, which is a methodology to reconstruct evolutionary                  trees, made practical by the development of digital computers.
