R. A. Price and C. D. Bailey.  Using DNA sequence data from the chloroplast encoded ndhF and trnL intron loci we have been studying the phylogenetic position of Sphaerocardamum within the Brassicaceae.  This collaboration has broadened to include the study of the relationships among a clade of four genera, one of which is Sphaerocardamum (the focus of my dissertation research).   This study is providing a general framework of for a more in-depth study of this clade.  (Work should be submitted by March 2000).

C. D. Bailey, R. A. Price, and J. J. Doyle.  Using the results from the broader family level survey (above), we have focused on an in-depth study of the clade that contains Sphaerocardamum.  Using increased species sampling and data from three potentially independent loci (nuclear encoded pistillata intron, nrDNA ITS, and chloroplast trnL intron and trnL-F spacer region) and morphology we are resolving the phylogenetic relationships of taxa within this clade (work should be submitted by late February 2000).
