Cut leaf ivy, cut skewer pine, epidermis print-leaf monocotyledons and dicotyledonous plants.

Final Practice, awarding credits based on attendance practice and on the basis of the work protocols. Observation of pollen grains plants.  

Annotation

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the construction of the plant body in relation to evolution, to its functions and adaptations. Main content lies in cytology (plant cell, submicroscopis structures), histology (tissue formation, the shape of the tissue cells and development of cell walls, meristematic and permanent tissues), organology (primary and secondary structure, morphology and metamorphosis of root, stem and leaves), reproductive organs, metagenesis and its variation in Algae, Fungi, Chromista, mosses, club mosses, horsetails, ferns, and angiosperms, flower formation and structure, fertilization, seed and fruit development.

In laboratory practice, students learn about different botanical microtechnologies, working on cytological and histological preparations. They learn transverse and longitudinal sections and prepare permanent preparations for their future teaching practices. The introduction of these practices is also the creation of basic laboratory safety and hygienic habits in lab.
