Description
Introduce students to an integrated approach of the plant by studying the morpho-anatomical characteristics of stems and roots. To make them discover the spatio-temporal coordinated construction of root and stem architectures through adaptations of Mediterranean and tropical species. Reproductive structures as well as the diversity of biological types will also be taken into account. This course is positioned as a preparation for the continuation in Master BE BioGET course and relies on the natural environment and local and regional infrastructures (Amazonian Greenhouse, Villa Thuret, Jardin Château La Pérouse).
