Students will learn about variation in breeding systems in vascular plants, methodological approaches for studying
such variation and its evolutionary and ecological consequences. Each lecture will include an introduction to a
specific topic following by student's presentation of selected scientific paper – a case study.

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

The course is taught with the support of the project reg. number CZ.02.2.69/0.0/0.0/16_015/0002362
