Abstract
Plant morphology describes vegetative (root, stem, leaf) and generative (flower, seed, fruit) structures of angiosperms, in some parts also compared with equal structures of other divisions, especially gymnosperms. Lectures are aimed at first at their description, but also evolutional changes, environmental adaptations, and processes of ontogenesis are monitored here.
Learning outcomes
Graduate of the course should obtain the knowledge of:
basic information about the plant body (cormus) and its particular organs;
terminology for description of plant structures and life processes;
understanding of evolutionary consequencies based on comparison of various plant groups.
