I hope this message finds you well. I have contacted you in the past in search of information on the Andropogoneae.
I have recently taken an assistant professors position at Appalachian State University in Boone North Carolina. As I begin my independent research career, I am in search of collaborators. I have a strong interest in the Andropogoneae as a group as well as grasses in general. I also work within the Orobanchaceae on the genus Striga. I have attached my current CV and most of my publications can be found on Google Scholar. I was wondering if you might be interested in a collaboration or if you knew someone who might be interested in working in the grasses or Striga. I would appreciate any suggested contacts or your interest in collaboration. Now National Biodiversty Authority of India needs to process/approve any research colloboration involves bioresources. It has to permit/ approve. Any international organization or individual is accessing the Indian flora,he has to apply formally to NBA and needs to pay necessary fee ; similarly any Indian individual or organization is having colloboration with foreign research organization, they have to apply to NBA , pay necessary fee and get approval. It is statutory. . Striga (Orobanchaceae) : 1 post by 1 author.
I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Striga (Pl. click). Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. . Striga (Orobanchaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia : 1 post by 1 author.
Pl. go through Striga (Orobanchaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia. I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identifications in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice. |
