Plant Anatomy and Embryology
Published on: September 3, 2024Last updated on: September 3, 2024
This course delves into the intricate structures and developmental processes of plants, covering topics from meristematic and permanent tissues to embryo and endosperm development. Students will explore the adaptive and protective systems of plants, secondary growth, and the structural organization of flowers. The course also examines pollination, fertilization, and apomixis, providing a comprehensive understanding of plant anatomy and embryology.
