This course provides coverage of major topics in plant biology and is intended for students in life sciences. An emphasis is placed on plant morphology and plant structure including cell types, tissues, and tissue systems, reproduction and development. Students are also given an overview of the incredible diversity of plants and how plants evolved and shaped the world. The course gives hands-on experience in studying the structure, morphology and diversity of a wide range of plant species.
After successfully completing the course students are expected to achieve the following objectives:
.
Plants are central to the maintenance of life on earth and for the basis of agricultural production.
Plant Biology is a very broad discipline that covers the study of the morphology, anatomy and structure, evolution and diversity of plants. Therefore, the course covers plant structure including cell and tissue types, tissue systems, development of primary and secondary tissues, and structure of vegetative and of reproductive organs; this course combines comparative morphology and life cycles including bryophytes and vascular plants. The course continues with basic and contemporary systematic principles and methods as applied to plants, including classification, identification skills, phylogenetics, and surveys of important families of major groups of plants via lectures and lab practice.
Theoretical lectures supported by multi-media aids and practical laboratory work.

Enrollment in University courses requires regular class attendance as well as careful preparation. Therefore, students are expected to attend all their scheduled classes.
However, lectures are facultative and absences from practical classes are allowed to a maximum of 25% of the possible classes.
That is, if students attend less than 75% of their possible practical/laboratory classes they are excluded from final assessment.
