Organization, development, and diversity of Spermatophytes

The EU aims to offer students an integrative approach to the morphology, anatomy, and development of the vegetative and reproductive systems of spermatophytes, from an ecological, functional, and evolutionary perspective. This approach is implemented by students through a supervised project focused on the study of a model plant, taking into account interindividual variability, different stages of development, site conditions, and biological type.

- Understand and analyze the dynamic markers of plant development and the exogenous and endogenous factors that determine them.

- Understand the structural and phylogenetic diversity of Spermatophytes.

- Discover the diversity of variations in the organs of spermatophytes, from a functional and evolutionary perspective.

Know-how:

- Establish a sampling protocol

- Communicate and report observations in writing and orally

- Be able to develop a rigorous scientific argument, demonstrating critical thinking

- Ability to successfully complete a project within a group
