Course Outline: Plant Anatomy and Physiology
Course Responsible: Polymeros Konstantinos
The course aims to introduce the basic knowledge of Plant Anatomy and Physiology to the students of the institution. The study of Anatomy and Physiology of higher plants is fundamental knowledge and a prerequisite for the study of organisms in other scientific fields, such as Genetics, Cytology, Biotechnology, etc. Specifically, the course is divided into three sections. The first section describes the plant cell and its basic functions, the second the plant tissues and the third emphasizes the vegetative organs of the higher plants. At the same time, during the course, students have the opportunity to understand and recognize morphological and anatomical characteristics of higher plants with the use of optical microscopes.
Upon successful completion of the course students will be able to:
- Know the structure and function of higher plants.
- Recognize macroscopically and microscopically the morphological characters of higher plants
- microscopically recognize the morphological, functional and physical characteristics of plant tissues
- Utilize the knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology in other fields of Agriculture.
