The aim of this course is to provide students with the fundamental principles of plant systematics, taxonomic categories, and rules of plant classification and nomenclature (binomial nomenclature). Throughout the course, general characteristics of plant divisions from algae to angiosperms, important families within Gymnospermae and Angiospermae, and distinguishing features of monocots and dicots will be covered, aiming for students to gain competency in recognizing, classifying, and evaluating the economic/ecological importance of plants.
Systematic botany and taxonomy; taxonomic categories; species concepts; classification methods; binomial nomenclature and Latin rules; algae (Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta, Chrysophyta, Rhodophyta, Phaeophyta), bryophytes, ferns; gymnosperms (Cycadopsida, Coniferopsida, Gnetopsida) and families (Pinaceae, Cupressaceae, Taxaceae); angiosperms: monocots (Liliopsida) and dicots (Magnoliopsida) with economically important families are covered.
