Today Josh, Gretel, Nicholas, and I found lots of E. purpurea (eastern purple coneflower), plenty for me to study as part of my independent project! We did not find much E. pallida (pale purple coneflower) though, so I unfortunately won’t get to study that species this summer. Here’s an updated version of my project proposal for studying the breeding systems of E. purpurea, H. helianthoides, and C. palmata: Here is a more detailed project proposal. This one focuses on what I want to accomplish this summer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PqYExtOCkmHzcLkLP3bS04_4X9OlVSZ5pjSZEiV-xp4/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=COLOz7cO Please let me know if the link doesn’t work. We have all been busy updating our project proposals. At the end of this post my updated proposal is attached. Soon we will go out and try again to assess if their is enough Echinacea pallida for me to do crosses between it and Echinacea angustifolia. Until then, my proposal still includes both a Plan A and Plan B. This is a proposal to a compatibility experiment in the remnants. Proposal for summer research–2nd Draft–cswitzer.docx This is the 2nd Draft. Now featuring compatibility vs. isolation. My independent project will be about the breeding systems of three plant species: H. helianthoides, C. palmata, and E. pallida. I will do pollen crosses to see whether the styles of these species’ florets shrivel when successfully pollinated (the way styles do in E. angustifolia florets). I will also try to determine whether these species are self-incompatible. Here’s a draft of my proposal: Here is a rough proposal for my Master’s research. edit: fixed the link. -josh |
