Role of the light. Organization, propagation and sexual reproduction. Illustration of: Euglenophyta, Dinophyta, Bacillariophyta, Rhodophyta, Phaeophyta, Chlorophyta, Charophyta. Land Plants: algal ancestors. Bryophytes. Pteridophytes: classification, organization and reproductive cycles in: Psilotophyta, Lycopodiophyta, Equisetophyta , Filicophyta.
Spermatophytes: origin of the ovule and of the seed; organization and reproductive cycles in Gymnospermae: Cycadophyta, Gynkgophyta, Conipherophyta, Gnetophyta. Angiospermae: the ovary and the flower. The fruits. Reproductive biology in the angiosperms. Evolutionary importance of the double fertilization.
