Course objectives
The subject Biology of plants provides education for first class Master programme of Pharmacy. Basic course cover the areas of plant anatomy, morphology and physiology as well as systematics of lower and higher medicinal plants. The favour is mainly focused on selected genera with important secondary metabolities. An integral part of teaching are practice exercises of anatomy, systematics and field excursions.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge of pharmaceutical botany within the range of syllabus.
