Current Project
The Lauraceae is a predominantly woody plant family. The timber, pulp, and paper industries, along with increased agricultural practices such as rubber cultivation and oil palm plantations, are contributing to the decline of Lauraceae species. The accurate taxonomical identification of plant species is important for their protection and proper use. However, the taxonomy of Lauraceae is poorly resolved. DNA barcodes, rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA, rpb2 and ITS will be used to generate sequencing data for initial species identification. However, closely related species will not be well resolved at these markers. Therefore, RAD-seq (Restriction site associated DNA sequencing) will be used to develop SNPs without relying on the reference genomes and to identify species-diagnostics markers. It will contribute to our understanding of the evolution and diversity of the Lauraceae family. Hence, the objectives of this study are
(i) to improve the taxonomical classification of this Lauraceae family
(ii) to develop barcoding markers for reliable species identification in the Lauraceae family
(iii) to establish a reference barcoding database for tropical forest tree species identification using Lauraceae as an example and
(iv) to establish the evolutionary relationships within the Lauraceae family.
