Objectives of the Course

The purpose of this course is to explain in detail the morphological and anatomical structures of plant cells, tissues and organs (vegetative and generative).

Course Content

The structure and properties of plant cells, meristematic cells and differentiation, the structure and functions of plant permanent tissues, and the detailed explanation of the anatomical-morphological structure and functions of plant vegetative and generative organs are among the basic topics of this course.
