Legume Morphology: diversity and evolution

Recent advances in the phylogenetic classification of Leguminosae have pointed out for the need to further improve our knowledge on the wide morphological diversity of the family. Morphological studies, besides useful for description of the wide array of phenotypes found in Leguminosae, are necessary to subsidize research on comparative morphology, homology, character evolution and the use of morphology in the systematics of Leguminosae. This symposium will present novelties that fill gaps in the knowledge about the diversity and evolution of legume morphology. Special attention will be given to floral development studies in order to celebrate the work of Dr. Shirley Tucker. Finally, the symposium will also focus on increasing collaborative work integrating legume morphology and systematics in order to produce a community-assembled morphological database.
