Syllabus -

1. Introduction - angiosperm plants and their sexual and asexual reproduction
2. Sexual plant reproduction: allogamy versus autogamy, distribution of these features among angiosperm lineages
3. Gene flow witihn and across populations
4. Flowers - structure and function, variation and evolution of flower types in relation to reproduction systems
5. Flowering - spatial and temporal dynamics, phenology
6. Pollination - diversity of pollinating systems, different types of pollinators
7. Pollination at the level of plant communities
8. Pollination trends in bioms - variation at the global level in relation to ecological factors
9. Apomixis - frequently occuring asexual reproduction in angiosperm plants
10. Vegetative reproduction in angiosperm plants
11. Synthesis
