Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module introduces the student with the basic issues in the field of angiosperm embryology, including the course of the development cycle and the exact characteristics of structures related to reproduction, including the processes of gametogenesis and embryogenesis of angiosperms. The course presents the current knowledge on sexual reproduction of angiosperms, with elements of experimental plant embryology. The student acquires the ability to conduct simple experiments and improves the ability to analyze and interpret ready-made microscopic preparations. The module points to the relationship between research in the field of crop plant embryology and the possibilities of their use in socio-economic life.
