Learning results

The aim of the course is:

• Τo teach students the levels of organization of a plant organism (cell-tissue-organs), with particular emphasis on the main morphological and anatomical characteristics of the most important (in terms of cultivated areas) cultivated plant species (field crops, fruits and vegetables) but also the most important weed species of Greek flora.

• To present the principle methods of classification of plant organisms.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Recognize plants of agricultural interest, understand their basic morphological and anatomical features and their basic physiological and developmental functions.

• Become familiar with the diversity of plant organisms and in particular the diversity of flowers, inflorescences, leaves, shoots and roots of angiosperms.

• Understand plant classification terminology.
