Aim of this course is to introduce to students the evolution and ontogenetic development of reproduction organs and gametes, processes of pollination and fertilisation, apomixis.
Student should be able to (after attending the course): - describe the evolution and ontogenetic development of reproduction organs and gametes - explain cytogenetic aspect of gametes differentiation and embryogenesis - describe processes of pollination, fertilization and types of apomixis
