Aims
Botany is a science that studies the morphological structure, physiological function, growth and development rules of plants, the evolution and classification of plants and the utilisation of plant resources. The module aims to provide students with an opportunity to master the external form and internal structure of plants, growth and development rules by the study of this module. Students will develop a basic knowledge of plant classification and plant kinship.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Outline the basic concepts, basic knowledge and basic principles of botany.
2.
Describe botany research methods with a strong ability to identify and use plant resources.
3.
Describe the principles and methods of plant morphological structure and phylogenetic development, and explain the relationship between various plants and agricultural production.
4.
Demonstrate the basic knowledge and skills of observation, anatomy, description, retrieval and identification of plants.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The main contents of the module include plant cells and tissues, vegetative organs of angiosperms, reproductive organs of angiosperms, and plant classification. Students will master the use of microscopes, methods and techniques such as freehand sectioning, mounting, staining and biological drawing, along with gaining the basic knowledge and skills of observation, anatomy, description, retrieval and identification of plants.
Additional Information:The module is designed to provide students with an understanding of the principles and development of botany through practical operation and the study of botanical experimental techniques. Students will also further their understanding of theoretical knowledge.
