The family tree relationships and geographic history of the grape family (Vitaceae) will be investigated with a comprehensive approach that integrates data from DNA analyses, developmental studies, as well as the structural form and geographic distribution of both living and fossil representatives. Characteristics of flowers, seeds, pollen, leaves, and stems will be compared to show the similarities and differences among living and extinct fossil species. Developmental studies on living plants will clarify how mature form is achieved in species of different genera. This information will be analyzed collectively to provide an improved understanding of the evolutionary history of grapes as well as an optimal classification of grapes and closely related genera and species. The project has great potential to contribute to the understanding on how fossils, extant morphology and molecules can be integrated into evolutionary and biogeographic analysis.The project uses an economically and culturally significant plant family as a model for integrating many types of systematic data into one study, providing training opportunities for first-generation college students at the University of Northern Iowa, as well as students abroad during field collections. Colleagues from Nepal and China will also be trained in appropriate molecular techniques and data analyses. Findings from this research will be incorporated into outreach programs in place at the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institution.

葡萄家族（Vitaceae）的家谱关系和地理历史将通过一种全面的方法进行研究，该方法将数据分析，发育研究以及生活和化石代表的结构形式和地理分布整合在一起。将比较花，种子，花粉，叶子和茎的特征，以显示生物和灭绝的化石物种之间的相似性和差异。 关于生物植物的发展研究将阐明不同属的物种的成熟形式。将集体分析此信息，以提高人们对葡萄的进化史以及对葡萄的最佳分类以及紧密相关的属和物种的理解。 该项目具有巨大的潜力，可以为了解化石，现存的形态和分子如何融入进化和生物地理分析中。该项目使用经济和文化上重要的植物家庭作为模型，将许多类型的系统数据整合到一项研究中，为北伊奥瓦（Northern Iowa）的第一代大学学生提供培训机会，并在北伊奥瓦大学（Northernnernennernennernernernernernennernnerniewa）提供了集合的培训。 来自尼泊尔和中国的同事也将接受适当的分子技术和数据分析的培训。 这项研究的发现将纳入佛罗里达自然历史博物馆和史密森尼机构的宣传计划中。
