The course of "Botany and plant conservation" aims to provide basic knowledge on the morpho-functional organization of plant organisms, including fungi and to introduce the student to plant systematics and evolutionary aspects of the Plant Kingdom with particular reference to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and fungi. The course also aims to provide knowledge about the distribution of plants and the competence for monitoring and conservation of plants. Finally, the course aims to provide a broad overview of the various implications that Botany has in other fields.
The expected results of the course include the acquisition of theoretical and methodological skills, i.e. knowing how to recognize taxa using classical analytical keys and modern digital ones, how to apply sampling and data collection techniques, use of microscope and stereomicroscope.

Attendance
Mandatory attendance of at least 75% of lessons and laboratoriesType of evaluation
The final examination consists of a preliminary written test based on multiple-choice questions. Passing the written test grants access to the oral examination, during which the completeness of the student's preparation will be assessed. As part of the oral examination, students will also be required to present a small herbarium consisting of approximately 8–10 plant specimens that have been previously collected, correctly identified, and dried. Knowledge of these specimens, including their identification and main characteristics, will be assessed during the examination
