Description
This course covers the theoretical concepts of plant biology, using the spermatophyte group as a model. It aims to define the notions and specific vocabulary of morphology, anatomy, reproduction and biological cycles.
Objectives
- Master notions of plant morphology, anatomy, reproduction and life cycles
- Master the specific vocabulary of these 4 themes
- Master the codes used to represent plant tissues and organs (morphological diagram, anatomical diagram, floral diagram, longitudinal section of a flower).
- Understand the structure and functioning of a typical plant

Syllabus
3 CMs explain theoretical concepts and vocabulary: CM1, Plant morphology; CM2, Plant anatomy; CM3, Reproduction and biological cycles.
5 TDs introduce the different types of graphic representation used to illustrate these concepts: TD1, Morphological diagram; TD2, Primary anatomy; TD3, Secondary anatomy; TD4, Floral diagram and longitudinal section; TD5, Life cycle.
Lastly, 4 practical sessions allow us to work on biological material: TP1, Morphology; TP2, Anatomy; TP3, Floral morphology; TP4, Fruit morphology.
