The competition for the position of Assistant Professor in project How changes in meristem patterning drive evolutionary innovations: insigths from syncephalia in the sunflower family (Asteraceae). PI: dr Jakub Baczyński. Funding institution: National Science Center Poland. With more than 32,000 species, the sunflower family (Asteraceae) is the largest family of flowering plants. Much of its evolutionary success is attributed to the capitulum; a complex, flower-like inflorescence which has undergone extensive modifications multiple times during the diversification of the family. One such modif
