Organization, Development, and Diversity of Spermatophytes

The course aims to provide students with an integrative approach to the morphology, anatomy, and development of the vegetative and reproductive systems of spermatophytes, from ecological, functional, and evolutionary perspectives. Students implement this approach 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 indicators of plant development, as well as the exogenous and endogenous factors that influence them.

- Understand the structural and phylogenetic diversity of spermatophytes.

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

Expertise:

- Develop a sampling protocol

- Communicate and report observations in writing and orally

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

- The ability to successfully carry out a project as part of a team
