Annotation
Please note, the lectures are given in Czech language only.
The aim of the course is to give a comprehensive view of non-vascular plants. The system and phylogeny of non vascular plants are studied, including the different divisions of blue-green algae, algae, bryophytes and fungi (including lichens). Students are mainly made familiar with the morphology of thalli, sexual and asexual reproduction, life cycles, occurence in nature, and significance for humankind. Important members are presented.
