Study programmes

The study program provides students with comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in the broad field of experimental plant biology in the areas of plant molecular and cellular biology, plant anatomy and developmental biology, plant physiology and plant ecological physiology. The study is aimed at detailed knowledge of the structure and life processes of plant cells and whole plants, their structure, function, metabolism, ontogenesis and interactions with the environment. Students acquire basic methodological approaches of experimental plant biology, such as physiological, molecular biological, microscopic, anatomical and morphological, biochemical, sometimes also biophysical or bioinformatic ones according to the focus of their diploma project. The interpretation of knowledge is primarily aimed at understanding the plant as a functional, internally coordinated entity that lives in a dynamic reciprocal interaction with the environment. The field “Experimental Plant Biology” has three specializations: plant physiology and anatomy, plant cell and molecular biology and plant ecophysiology.
