Course Description

Botany is one of the main milestones of biology based on sciences such as agriculture. The aim of this course is to introduce botany and its importance to students. The course covers: description of botany, plant cell structure, the organization of the plant body, components of the cell and their functions, plant tissue and organs. Morphology and anatomy of roots, stems, buds, leaves, flowers, seeds and fruits are discussed in detail. The parts of a complete flower and their functions. The male and female organs of flowers, pollen, pollination, fertilization and fruit set and their mechanisms. Anatomical structure of seed and germination, fruit types; pome fruits, stone fruits, berries and the others.
