Monocots (including such groups as grasses, palms, orchids, and philodendrons) include more than 65,000 species of flowering plants, occur in almost all habitats, and provide the great majority of the human diet. A definitive family tree for this group will be developed and used to understand the broad-scale evolution of monocots over geologic time. A total of 23 genes in 601 species, whole chloroplast genomes in 175 species, and all genes expressed in 50 species will be sequenced and used to reconstruct the evolutionary history of this group. Additionally, phenotypic data from living and fossil species will be collected, and all data will be analyzed integratively to provide a comprehensive understanding of monocot evolution.The resulting family tree will provide the foundation for many new studies in physiology, ecology, biogeography, and genomics of flowering plants. Web access to all data and results will be provided to researchers and K-12 teachers and students. Several post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates (with a focus on women and minorities) will be trained, and four young faculty will be supported. A museum exhibit on the evolution of flowering plants will be produced for high-profile venues in New York, Chicago, Denver, and Berkeley, and a children's monocot garden exhibit will be developed at the New York Botanical Garden. Posters illustrating monocot diversity and evolution will be distributed to colleges, and staff will give talks at public high schools.

单子叶植物（包括草，棕榈，兰花和philodendrons之类的群体）包括超过65,000种开花植物，几乎在所有栖息地中都出现，并提供了绝大多数人类饮食。 将开发并用来了解该组的确定家庭树，以了解在地质时期内单子叶植物的广泛演变。在601种中，共有23个基因，其中175种的整个叶绿体基因组将进行测序，并用于重建该组的进化史。此外，将收集来自活物质和化石物种的表型数据，并将所有数据综合分析以提供对单子病的进化的全面理解。所产生的家谱将为许多关于开花植物的生理学，生态学，生物地理学和基因组学的新研究奠定基础。网络访问所有数据和结果将提供给研究人员，K-12教师和学生。 将培训几名博士后研究员，研究生和本科生（专注于妇女和少数民族），并将支持四名年轻教师。将在纽约，芝加哥，丹佛和伯克利的备受瞩目的场地生产有关开花植物发展的博物馆展览，并将在纽约植物园开发儿童的单子园花园展览。 说明单子弹多样性和进化的海报将分发给大学，工作人员将在公立高中进行演讲。
