It has since spread to at least 26 states throughout the East Coast, including West Virginia. A different high-profile invasive species will be studied at each of those universities.Plant biologists like Craig Barrett know better.Barrett will sequence a complete genome of Japanese stiltgrass and collaborate with Cynthia Huebner, an adjunct professor at the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design, in conducting a greenhouse experiment using seeds from specimens collected in the U.S. and Asia.

In this seminar I will discuss: 1) the basic biology or orchids and the evolution of heterotrophy, 2) the now extensive findings on plastid genome evolution in heterotrophic orchids, and 3) the far less extensive findings on evolution of the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in these plants.

I will use two well-sampled case studies, the North American orchid genera Corallorhiza and Hexalectris, and place these in the broader context of the evolution of heterotrophy in plants.
