A specialized course under Science Stream

Course Details

Botany is the scientific study of plants – from their structure and characteristic to their essential roles in ecosystems and the intricacies of their cellular function. Botanists find out about how flora evolve and adapt to altering climates and environments and have a proactive position in mitigating the loss of biodiversity. Ecologists use botanical knowledge to help control marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Botany targets to enlarge and improve our supply of medicines, foods, and different plant products.

This course will help you discover the origins, diversity, and global importance of plants. You will attain insights into the micro- and macro-evolutionary methods and patterns behind how plant life moved from aquatic ecosystems to terrestrial ecosystems. Integrated lectures, practical classes, and large online sources will permit you to advance and integrate practical abilities and conceptual frameworks in plant identification, plant physiology, plant anatomy, and plant morphology. You will be able to make contributions to a range of disciplines along with ecology, bioinformatics, molecular and mobilephone biology, genetics and biotechnology, environmental law, agriculture, education, and the arts.
