Department of Botany
Research and teaching within the Department covers various botanical disciplines from the taxonomic and eco-physiological aspects of plants, through plant populations and communities, to the ecosystem and landscape levels. Laboratory of Archeobotany and Palaeoecology exists inside the Department. A genetical laboratory was established in 2006.
The individual research projects are especially focused on: modern taxonomical approaches to cyanophytes, bryophytes and vascular plants; ecology of fungae; interactions among populations in plant communities; research in underground organs of plants; ecological succession; invasion of alien plants; botanical analyses of fossil and archeological samples. Research in taxonomy conducted by staff members contributes substantially to determination handbooks of general importance such as Süsswaserflora von Mitteleuropa, and Flora (vascular plants) of the Czech Republic.
An emphasis is placed on a broad field experience, in addition to the theoretical disciplines and experimental approaches. Various excursions are organised by the Department: one-day excursions inside the region, and weekly trips to attractive parts of the country, or to neighbouring landscapes (the Alps, the Carpathian Mts.). Longer excursions are arranged for the students to other biomes (Mediterranean region in Spain, Turkey and Italy; boreal and sub-Arctic zones in Scandinavia and northern Russia; steppe zone in Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula). Students are generally encouraged to spend at least some time in well known universities and institutes abroad and attend international conferences and workshops to present the results of their research efforts.

Studijní obory uplatnitelné v biotechnologických oborech garantované ústavem:
| Název | Popis |
|---|---|
| Botany - Systematics of higher plants | This specialization wil give a student broad overview on higher plants including its biochemistry and genetics. Graduate students are supposed to have comprehensive knowledge in the field of higher plants. |
| Botany - specialization Vegetation ecology | Vegetation ecology is practically ecology of plants with the emphasis on evaluation of the state and development of growth in various terrains. |
| Botany - specialization Bionomy of cyanobacteria and algae | The individual research projects are especially focused on: modern taxonomical approaches to cyanophytes, bryophytes and vascular plants; ecology of fungae; interactions among populations in plant communities; research in underground organs of plants; ecological succession; invasion of alien... |
| Botany - specialization Archeobotany | Archeobotany is a connection between various botanical analyses and the historical and archeological research of landscape. It reveals the time dimension of vegetation growth in a landscape. |
| Botany - specialization Mycology | Mycology specialization deals wtih fungi in forrest ecosystems, the function of mycorrhiza and the reaction of mycorrhizal systems on changes in environment caused by human. Ptahogenic fungi and plant pathology are also subject to this specialization. |
| Botany - specialization Population and community ecology | This specialization follows issues connected to the species diversity. It is focused on mechanisms which provide coexistence of different species in meadow association and on the question how is the function of ecoystem dependent on its species diversity. |
| Botany | This study gives an comprehensive training in the botanical discicplines dealing with non-vascular and higher plants. Research topics are connected with many important landscape, hydrobilogy and general ecology projects. Students will use the most up-to-date laboratory and field research... |
| Biologie | Obor Biologie je přípravou na magisterské studium biologických oborů, určeno zejména studentům, kteří budou pokračovat v některé z navazujících biologických magisterských specializací(uvedeno níže): Botanika – zahrnuje 6 specializací: Systematika vyšších rostlin, Vegetační ekologie, Bionomie sinic... |
