To learn about the diversity of plants and the plant-associated organisms (fungi and cyanobacteria) in their structures and functions and within a frame of biological interaction and evolution. To learn the preparation techniques for the observation of plant materials at the light microscope. Learning to recognize and describe the main structures and tissues of plants. Basic knowledge of organic chemistry and cell biology. Frontal lessons, practicum in laboratory, use of ppt presentation, seminars. At the beginning of the laboratory lessons, the student is supposed to be equipped with the following material: tweezers razor blades needle Writing exam (open questions and multiple choice questions) OR oral exam (open questions only). Practical test aimed at evaluating the student's proficiency in preparing, observing at the light microscope and describing a plant material representative of those analysed during the laboratory lessons. Plastids (types, functions, development) - Laboratory; Cyanobacteria (diversity, cell structure, symbiotic relationships); Vacuoles (functions and plasmolisis) - Laboratory; Cell wall and cellular turgor (primary and secondary cell wall structure and development, chemical structures, functions); Structure organization in Thallophytes (algae and their diversity) - Laboratory; Fungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, mycorrhizae, lichens, diversity, reproduction types, uses of fungi) - Laboratory; Metagenetic cycles (in Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms); Flower structure (structure and systematic traits); Impollination (strategies, types, specificity with impollinators); Embrional development, seeds and fruits (in gymnosperms and aniosperms, development of the seeds and fruits, fruit types); Dissemination of seeds and fruits and germination of seeds; Plant growth (primary and secondary growth in Cormophytes); Tegument and mechanical tissues (epidermis, rhizoderm, trichomes, types and functions of teguments) - Laboratory; Stele theory (stele types, phloem and xylem) - Laboratory; Primary and secondary plant growth in stem and root - Laboratory; Leaf (structure, types and diversity, functions) - Laboratory.
