The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arcata Field Office is offering this grant to support critical phylogenetic studies of *Arabis macdonaldiana* and closely related species. This grant is for the purpose of deepening our understanding of their genetic and geographic boundaries. Building upon previous molecular work that utilized a single gene (ITS), this follow-up study will incorporate additional gene sequences, specifically ETS and low-copy nuclear genes such as Waxy. These advanced genetic markers are expected to provide enhanced resolution, crucial for accurately mapping the relationships within *A. macdonaldiana* and its relatives. The research aims to contribute vital scientific data for the conservation and management of these unique plant populations.

| Description: | The purpose of supporting further phylogenetic studies of Arabis macdonaldiana and related species in order to better understand their genetic and geographic limits. This will be a followup on prior molecular phylogenetic work based on a single gene ITS Internal Transcribed Spacer ITS which showed that additional gene sequences are required to fully the understand the relationships within A. macdonaldiana and closely related species. The followup study will use ETS External Transcribed Spacer and low copy nuclear genes including Waxy which have been shown in other groups to provide more resolution. |
