BIO287: Plant Diversity (Marine Science)

This unit aims to provide you with a working knowledge of algal and plant evolution and their functional interaction with the environment. The unit will cover the algal part of the Kingdom Protista, the Cyanobacteria in the Kingdom Monera and the Plant Kingdom. The unit emphasises morphological diversity, reproductive processes and strategies, adaptation, function and evolution. Interactions between plants and the environment and the control of development are discussed for flowering plants.  Emphasis is placed on marine organisms where possible.
