Course objectives
System and evolution of plants is one of the introductory disciplines of biological study. The subject is intended for students of systematic biology and education. The lab is an integral part of the lectures and is intended to supplement knowledge gained from study with concrete images of live or preserved model plants. Annotated sketches of the observed models are prepared. Emphasis is on comparative morphology, especially in the case of the angiosperm families where a single "model species" is presented.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- to characterize and compare the features of the main representatives of higher plants;
- to prepare microscopic mounts of the higher plant parts important for their classification and determination;
- to apply the basic microscopic techniques and scientific drawing priciples in the biology of higher plants;
- to describe and summarize the basic features of the major clades of the higher plants;
- to identify and describe the basic trends in the evolution of life cycles across the lineages of higher plants
