We are collaborating with Dr. Helena Štorchová (The Institute of Experimental Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences) on the project concerning phylogeny of North American Chenopodium album agg. focused especially on diploid species. This project is covered by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports grant project (Inter-Excellence, LTAUSA18, Evolution of diploid-polyploid complex of Chenopodium album agg. Joint or parallel evolution of North American and Eurasian species? PI: Bohumil Mandák) which ends in 2023. We have also collaborated before on Chenopodium related projects and published several papers together within last few years.
