| Description: |
The
internal structure of seed plants. Description and recognition
of cell and tissue types, tissue systems, and their interrelations
in vegetative and reproductive structures. Developmental changes
of the plant body from embryo to mature plant and from meristems
to mature tissues. Experimental approaches where relevant to structure-function
relationships and to development will be introduced. |
| Objectives: |
1)
to learn about plant structure, to recognize the cells and tissues
that make up the plant body, and to study how these cells and
tissues originate and are organized within the plant body
2) to understand how plant anatomy relates to plant development,
function (physiology), evolution, and ecology
3) to learn about some of the scientific approaches to research in
plant anatomy and structure/function relationships |
| Textbook(s): |

of Seed Plants by Katherine Esau (1977, 2nd edition) |
