This Ph.D. project explores the rarely studied area of corona structures in Narcissus flowers, highlighting the striking species-to-species variation. To solve the puzzles surrounding corona development, the research combines cooperative efforts, high-throughput DNA sequencing, developmental genetics, and macroevolutionary analyses.
The project’s objectives are to pinpoint important genes, comprehend corona specification, and investigate how hybridization contributes to morphological innovation. The study’s conclusions are not only beneficial from a scientific standpoint but also have real-world applications for the UK’s daffodil breeding industry.
The University of Portsmouth is a public university in the city of Portsmouth, in the ceremonial county of Hampshire on the south coast of England; it is located mainly on Portsea Island with a population of 205,400, it is the United Kingdom's only island city.
