Biology: Bryophyte Morphology and Identification

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: BIOR97

<p>BIOR97</p><p>The bryophyte lineages - mosses, liverworts and hornworts - originated and diverged during the early colonization of terrestrial habitats by plants. You will study representatives of these lineages to learn about their morphological characters, reproductive strategies, habitat requirements and ecological roles. You will learn to use the botanical terminology for bryophytes. Experts on different groups will guide you through the secrets of species determination. You will get an overview of bryophyte phylogeny and diversity. Bryophytes have a life-cycle dominated by the haploid generation, in strong contrast to other land plants which are dominated by the diploid generation. You will examine the different stages of this life cycle and get insights in the genetic consequences of such a life cycle.</p> <p>For information about application, please contact the study advisor Lotta Persmark, lotta.persmark@biol.lu.se</p><p>https://www.biologyeducation.lu.se/education/courses/advanced-level-courses/bryophyte-morphology-and-identification-bior97</p>
