Pushing the borders in our biodiversity assessment – the first associated projects on plants
Dear supporters of ABOL!
Complementing our current projects on fungi and animals we are happy to announce the start of two associated projects on DNA-barcoding in plants.
A project at the University of Salzburg, headed by Andreas Tribsch, generates DNA barcodes in spring gentians, a morphologically challenging group. DNA barcodes will allow to identify juvenile plants and hybrids in mixed populations (read more…).
A second project aims to characterise plants via DNA barcoding, focussing on groups prone to undetected, cryptic invasions. The Uni-Docs-project will be carried out by Clemens Pachschwöll at the University of Vienna (read more …).
