Course content

1. Methods and principles in Plant Systematics. Linnean systematics, modern APG systematics. 2. Comparison of anatomy, morphology, reproduction, life strategies among the most important representatives of the main groups, including kingdom Protozoa (Acrasiomycota, Myxomycota, Plasmodiophoromycota); kingdom Chromista (Labyrinthulomycota, Oomycota, Hyphochytriomycota); c) kingdom Fungi (Chytridiomycota; Microsporidiomycota; Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Deuteromycota, Basidiomycota). Explaining the major evolutionary trends in Fungi s.l. phylogeny. 3. Comparison of anatomy, morphology, reproduction and the most important representatives of the main groups: Archebacteria and Cyanobacteria, Protozoa (Euglenophyta and Dinophyta), Chromista (Heterokontophyta and Haptophyta), Biliphytae (Glaucophyta and Rhodophyta), Chlorophytae (Chlorophyta and Charophyta). Evolution and diversity of green and land plants. Evolution, diversity and relationships of bryophytes and vascular plants. 4. The evolutionary origin, phylogenetic relationships of major plant groups. Major evolutionary novelties, morphology and anatomy comparison of major groups and biological characteristics (life-cycles, distribution, social impact) including Bryophytes s.l. (Anthocerotophyta, Marchantiophyta and Bryophyta), vascular plants - Rhyniophyta, Lycopodiophyta, ferns, horsetails, cycases, Ginkgophyta, conifers and flowering plants (Magnoliophyta). 7. Main evolutionary trends in flowering plants (according to APV IV). Important representatives of the Czech Flora. Practical exercises include demonstration of living or conserved material, excursion to the Botanical garden of Palacký University and the seminary with students' presentations.

Overview of Plant Phylogeny in broad sense (Cyanobacteria, Algae, Fungi s.l., Plantae)
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - Draw up the main evolutionary trends in Fungi, Algae and Plants. - Define main morphological/anatomical features in evolution of Fungi, Algae and Plants. - Describe major phylogenetic/systematic groups of Fungi, Algae and Plants - Explain main changes in evolution of Higher Plants - Compare reproduction modes and life-cycles among subgroups of Fungi, Algae and Plants - Characterise major taxonomic groups of Vascular Plants. - List the most common representatives of Fungi, Algae and Plants, with special emphasis on Vascular plants of Czechia. - Characterise common "model species" used in Plant Science research (Arabidopsis, Medicago, Nicotiana, Taraxacum, Zea etc.) and evaluate their taxonomic, genetic, phytogeographic and ecologic relationships.
