Course objectives
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.
Main objective of the course is to prepare students for consequential lecture System of vascular plants, where students should be able to apply:
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.
