At the end of the course students are expected to have: 1. The basic knowledge on the botanical history and plant evolution as well as major systems of classification 2. Apprehended the Taxonomy and Systematic concepts, Classification and plant Nomenclature 3. Perception and comprehension of the main philosophical types behind different taxonomic schools and main differences between them 4. Acquired the morphological concepts and vocabulary necessary to describe plants 5. Developed the taxonomical skills needed for the identification of plants and management of biological collections 6. Learned the major lines of evolution in plants 7. Studied the major botanical groups, main differences between them, their evolution and characterization. To build and use a dichotomous key as well as to manage the necessary terms and concepts used to identify vascular plants.
The competences to be acquired by the students are directly related to the aims described above.
Classification and Systematics Botany from ancient times to actuality:Concepts and definitions: the basics of the classical disciplines; molecular biology Classification and levels of taxonomic categories Major classification types: similarities and role Botanical Nomenclature and Taxonomic studies The morphology of the plant body and its organs. The major plant lineages – From Algae to Flower Plants. Non-vascular plants: Liverworts, Hornworts and Mosses; Seedless Vascular plants; Lycophytes and Monilophytes; Seed plants I – Gymnospermae Seed Plants II - Angiospermae. Morphology and plants descriptors of seed plants
