Purpose and description of the content of education:
The subject introduces a comprehensive and interdisciplinary view of plant biology, pointing to the existence of rules and interrelations between the processes of plant growth and development at various levels of the organization. The presented theoretical models enable a clear description of phenomena and testing of hypotheses formulated based on the results of experimental research. Thanks to this, the student can better understand the processes taking place in the world of living matter and the rules governing these processes.
