Systematics of Angiosperms

Overview

Angiosperms, commonly known as flowering plants, represent the largest and most diverse group in the Plantae kingdom. The "Systematics of Angiosperms" course is crafted to enhance and expand your foundational knowledge in plant systematics.

Through this course, you will learn how to collect, preserve, and identify herbarium specimens, understand nomenclature rules, and explore various classification systems. Gain insight into the roles of botanical gardens and key centers dedicated to plant exploration and conservation.

This program also familiarizes you with your local flora by studying significant families of angiosperms, focusing particularly on cultivated species and their ecological and economic importance.

While primarily aimed at B.Sc. Botany students, the course is equally advantageous for those studying conservation biology, environmental science, agricultural science, or related fields where plant knowledge plays a crucial role.

Upon completion, you'll be able to identify key characteristics and diagnostic traits of major angiosperm groups, applying your expertise in research, conservation biology, and other professional contexts.

This course lays a solid foundation for further education and careers in related fields. Prerequisite:

Completed 12th grade.

Target Audience:

Students in botany, environmental science, agricultural science, and anyone with an interest in plant studies will greatly benefit from this course.
