Originally a classical morphologist, specializing in homology and organ identity assessment, I am now also studying expression pattern of transcription factor genes (MADS-box genes, CLV1, CLV2, 14-3-3). I currently work on Amborella trichopoda (Amborellaceae, "sister to all extant angiosperms"), Nymphaeales, Liriodendron tulipifera (Magnoliaceae), Persea (Lauraceae), and Acorus (Acoraceae, "sister to all extant monocots"). I have a personal affection for Alismatales (Araceae; Alismataceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Potamogetonaceae + Juncaginaceae) and Piperales (namely Saururaceae) Find more details at http://plaza.ufl.edu/mbuzgo/             Hosted by University of Colorado, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
