Botany 1400-112BOT-en
Labs:
a) Algae – diversity of life forms and chemistry (cyanobacteria, golden algae, diatoms, brown algae, dinoflagellates, euglenids, red algae, green algae).
b) Fungi and fungi-like protists – forms, reproduction, and lifestyles (mycetozoa, oomycetes, Fungi sensu stricto); diversity of terrestrial fungi with examples from Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota; adaptations for parasitism and predation; conidial fungi and lichens.
c) Bryophytes and ferns – morphology and anatomy of gametophytes and sporophytes; relationships between form and environment; reproductive strategies (liverworts, mosses, clubmosses, spikemosses, quillworts, Psilotopsida, horsetails, ferns).
d) Gymnosperms – diversity of extant gymnosperms; morphology of the sporophyte (Cycadidae, Ginkgoidae, Gnetidae, Pinidae).
e) Angiosperms – diversity of extant angiosperms (ANA grade, Magnoliids, monocots, eudicots); flower morphology and anatomy, evolutionary trends, types of inflorescences; fruit and seed types, seed anatomy; morphology and anatomy of root, stem, and leaf.
Lecture:
a) Phylogenetic relationships among groups traditionally classified as plants: cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae, terrestrial plants, fungi-like protists, and Fungi sensu stricto.
b) The origin of oxygenic photosynthesis; endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts; secondary endosymbiosis; diversity of chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments, algal cell structures and forms; relationship between algal morphology and environment.
c) Sexual reproduction: essence, benefits, and costs; alternation of generations; diversity of sexual reproduction in algae.
d) Diversity and phylogenetic relationships of green algae; common features of Streptophytes; evolutionary milestones in land plants (lignin, sporopollenin, cutin).
e) Origin of the land-plant sporophyte; early land-plant evolution; emergence of leaves; bryophyte origin, structure, and diversity.
f) Evolution of the stem; sporangia and sporophylls; heterospory; systematic review of modern and fossil Lycopodiophyta and ferns.
g) The ovule – origin, significance, and evolution; modern gymnosperms.
h) Origin and early evolution of angiosperms; contemporary hypotheses on the origin of the flower; evolutionary diversification of angiosperms.
i) Systematic review of selected monocot and eudicot groups.
j) Phylogenetic relationships among fungi-like protists and fungi; structure, chemistry, and lifestyle of these groups.
k) Systematic review of fungi.

Knowledge, student:
a) knows botanical terminology and basic principles of nomenclature, understands the meaning of the taxonomic position of an organism (K_W13 Bl1);
b) characterizes selected groups of algae, fungi, protists and plants with respect to their biodiversity, habitat, morphology and anatomy, and recognizes their representatives (K_W05 Bl1, K_W06 Bl1, K_W07 Bl1);
c) describes phylogenetic relationships among those groups of organisms and characterizes main ecological factors, which in the course of evolution shaped their biodiversity (K_W10 Bl1, K_W11 Bl1);
Abilities, student:
a) knows basic techniques of light microscopy (K_U01 Bl1);
b) makes simple microscopic slides under the guidance of the tutor (K_U06 Bl1);
c) learns individually issues indicated by the tutor (K_U10 Bl1);
d) Read and comprehend scientific and popular science biological texts in both the native and a foreign language and communicate in a foreign language at the B2 level (K_U02 BI1).
Social skills:
a) broadens his botanical interests (K_K01 Bl1);
b) feels a constant need to broaden and update his/her botanical knowledge (K_K04 Bl1);
c) knows and applies basic rules of safety in experimental work and knows how to react in the case of emergency (K_K05 Bl1).
Kryteria oceniania
Lab evaluation:
1) Students must not be absent more than twice.
2) Students must achieve at least 60% of the maximum score across four written tests (i.e., 72 out of 120 points; each test worth 30 points).
3) The final grade will be based on the total points from the four tests.
Course evaluation:
The course will be assessed through a written examination.
