Course objectives
At the end of the course student will be able to:
 describe the structure and functions of plant cells, tissues and organs;
explain relationship between the structure and functions of plant cells, tissues and organs;
relate anatomy and environmental factors affecting it.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course Student will be able to:
- describe the structure and function of plant cell and its subcellular compartments;
- identify various kinds of plant tissues on real preparations, their structure and their role in plant body;
- distinguish the anatomy of vegetative plant organs (roots, stem, leaf) in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants;
- apply the knowlegde in next study in biological disciplines, during working-out the bachelor and diploma theses, in case of students of teaching profession to apply the knowledge in their teaching practise.
Syllabus
  • Introduction: 1) Lecture handout, recommended literature, exam requirements. Why is good to know the structure of plant cells, tissues and organs.

  • Cytology: 2) Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. Plant cell, structure and function. Compartmentation of cell metabolism.

  • 3) Cell surface: cell wall, apoplast. Intercellular space. Plazmodesmata and symplast.

  • 4) Membranes, membrane components of plant cell. Endomembrane system: endoplazmatic reticulum, Golgi apparatus. Relations of endomembranes.

  • 5) Ribosomes. Nucleus, cell cycle. Mitosis phases, interphase, spindle, meiosis, comparison of mitosis and meiosis. Cell division - cytokinesis, cell division control.

  • 6) Vacuole. Mitochondria. Microbodies (glyoxisomes, peroxisomes). Cytoskelet: microtubules, microfilaments.

  • 7) Plastids, kinds of plastids. Chloroplasts - sites of photosynthesis, morphogenesis.

  • Histology: 8) Tissues and their classification. Meristemic tissues. Vascular tissues: origin and types of vascular bundles, transport of assimilates.

  • 9) Xylem and phloem: phylogenesis, ontogenesis, transfer cells.

  • Organology: 10) Root: function, types of root systems, structure of root apex, primary and secondary structure of root (epidermis, cortex, central cylinder).

  • 11) Stem: function, structure of stem apex, primary and secondary structure of stem (epidermis, cortex, central cylinder), monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants, structure of hypocotyl.

  • 12) Leaf: function, origin, fall off, structure (epidermis, mezophyll), bifacial, monofacial, structure of needle, stomata and hydatodes.
