Description
The EU covers the theoretical concepts of plant biology, using the group of spermatophytes as a model. It aims to define the concepts and specific vocabulary related to morphology, anatomy, reproduction, and life cycles.
Objectives
- Master the concepts of plant morphology, anatomy, reproduction, and biological cycles
- Master the specific vocabulary related to these four topics
- Master the conventions for representing plant tissues and organs (morphological diagram, anatomical diagram, floral diagram, longitudinal section of a flower)
- Understand the structure and function of a typical plant

Course Outline
Three CMs are used to explain theoretical concepts and vocabulary: CM1, Plant Morphology; CM2, Plant Anatomy; CM3, Reproduction and Biological Cycles.
Five tutorials cover the various types of graphical representations used to illustrate these concepts: Tutorial 1, Morphological Diagram; Tutorial 2, Primary Anatomy; Tutorial 3, Secondary Anatomy; Tutorial 4, Floral Diagram and Longitudinal Section; Tutorial 5, Life Cycle.
Four lab sessions finally allow students to work with biological material: Lab 1, Morphology; Lab 2, Anatomy; Lab 3, Floral Morphology; Lab 4, Fruit Morphology.
