Course content
|
The course brings an overview on recent trends in Biosystematics as well as makes an introduction to particular methods. The students, besides having an overview on recent progress in Biosystematics, should learn to select an appropriate methodology for answering their biological questions and learn how to make the (molecular) experiments. 1. The science of Plant Biosystematics. Elementary terms and phenomena in Plant Biosystematics. 2. Molecular techniques and molecular markers in biosystematic research. Overview of markers, their application, pros and cons of different markers/methods. 3. Cytogenetic methods in Plant Biosystematics reserach. Basic methods. Flow-cytometry. In situ hybridization methods. 4. Statistics in Plant Biosystematics. Basic terms. Work with common statistic software and apps. 5. Plant Phylogeny. Basic terms and approaches. Common software.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to get familiar with recent methods in Plant Science research, especially in fields such as population and evolutionary genetics and phylogenetics.
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - Explain principles of modern methods used in Plant Sciences - Define usability of various molecular techniques - Select and employ appropriate technique in student's own research - Show how can be main biosystematic questions (phylogeny, hybridisation, population genetics etc.) solved - Interpret correctly the molecular data in scientific publications
