Course content
1. System and phylogenesis of plants and fungi - eukaryotic system changes: a new system based on division into superskupines, basic evolutionary patterns and phylogenetic principles. 2. Sinus and algae - position in the system, formation of photosynthesis, primary and secondary endosymbiosis. Sinice (Cyanobacteria) and their basic characteristics, toxicity and representatives of significant taxonomic groups, ecological significance. 3. Algae - basic characteristics of Cryptophyta, Haptophyta, Chlorarachniophyta, Dinophyta, Ochrophyta, Euglenophyta, Glaucophyta, Rhodophyta, Chlorophyta, Streptophyta and their selected representatives. Types of stem, breeding and ecological importance of algae. 4. Plant morphology and anatomy - characteristics and function of plant organs (root, stalk, leaf) and tissue (devilish, permanent). Anatomical structure and function of flower, fetus and seeds, basic types of inflorescences and fruits. 5. Spruce Plants - Basic characteristics of Anthocerotophyta, Marchantiophyta, Bryophyta, Rhyniophyta, Lycopodiophyta, Monilophyta, Prezymnospermae, Reproduction, ecology and selected representatives. 6. Spermatophyta plants and their system, basic characteristics and reproduction. Characteristics of Ginkgophyta, Cycadophyta, Gnetophyta, Pinophyta, Reproduction, Ecology and Selected Representatives. 7. Magnoliophyta - system, basic characteristics and reproduction. Characteristics and system of basal group of Magnoliopsida and monocotyledonous plants (Liliopsida), reproduction, ecology and selected representatives. 8. True Two-Dipped (Rosopsida) - Basic Characteristics, System. Their groups of Ranunculates and Saxifragales, important families, features, ecological properties and selected representatives. 9. True Dicopter (Rosopsida) - Basic characteristics and system of Rosidae group, important families, characters, ecological properties and main representatives. 10. True Two-Dipped (Rosopsida) - Basic characteristics and system of the Asteridae group, significant families, characters, ecological properties and selected representatives. 11. Fungi - groups Microsporidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota and Glomeromycota and their position in the system, basic characteristics, life cycles, ecology and selected representatives. 12. Fungi - Ascomycota and Basidiomycota groups and their position in the system, basic characteristics, life cycles, ecology and selected representatives. 13. Functions of fungi in the ecosystem - decomposition, mycorrhiza, fungi as plant parasites, animals and fungi, the importance of human mushrooms (biotechnology, food, toxinogenic fungi as a source of mycotoxins). 14. Lichenes - symbiosis of fungi, algae or cyanobacteria, basic characteristics, insole construction, ecology, reproduction and prominent representatives.
