The science of plant systematics - why is systematics important? Methods and principles of botanical systematics. Historical background of classification and system in plants. Structural and biochemical characters in plant systematics, molecular systematics. The evolution of plant diversity. Phylogenetic systematics - an overview of plant phylogeny. The fossil record - systematics and reconstruction. Evolution relationships and recent systematic classification of fungal organisms. Anatomy, morphology, reproduction, life strategies and the most important representatives of the main groups: Protozoa (Myxomycota and Plasmodiophoromycota), Chromista (Labyrinthulomycota, Oomycota and Hyphochytriomycota) and Fungi (Chytridiomycota and Eumycota - subdivisions Zygomycotina, Ascomycotina, Basidiomycotina and Deuteromycotina). Evolutionary relationships and systematic classification of Cyanobacteria and "Algae". 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. The origin of seed - evolution and diversity of seed plants. The origin, evolution and phylogenetic relationships of Angiosperms. Systematic classification of bryophytes and vascular plants - morphology, life cycles and the most important representatives of the main groups: Bryophytes (Anthocerotophyta, Marchantiophyta and Bryophyta), vascular plants - Rhyniophyta s. lat., Lycopodiophyta (Lycopodiopsida, Selaginellopsida and Isoëtopsida), Psilotophyta, Polypodiophyta s. lat., Equisetophyta, Lyginodendrophyta s. lat., Cycadophyta, Ginkgophyta, Pinophyta, Gnetophyta and Magnoliophyta (Magnoliopsida, Liliopsida and Rosopsida).
