| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The course provides the students with: - an advanced botanical knowledge of selected plant families skills to identify and relate plants of horticultural importance the ability to use the correct scientific and local names of plants. - a basic biological insight into the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for plant speciation - a basic insight into the evolution of specific horticultural plants | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Through extended systematics of horticultural plants in general supplemented with detailed knowledge for selected families/genera/species, the students will experience a full extent of biological diversity. The mechanisms responsible for this diversity, i.e. plant speciation, variation, and evolution will be presented. These theoretical aspects of speciation should be related to the selected families/genera/species resulting in a project report on origin and evolution. Making a personal herbarium gives the students the opportunity to work individually, and experience the pleasure of ultimate problem based learning. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The course will be centred on: . laboratory practicals with extended plant knowledge and systematics . laboratory group work with selected families/genera/species (students own choice, amounting to about 80 pages (e.g. 450 species)) . lectures on general speciation mechanisms . student presentations of the evolution of selected horticultural crops . making of a herbarium: 50 plants, minimum 25 cultivated plants . single or group project: origin and evolution of selected horticultural plants (to be chosen within the field of selected families) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
