Dear Colleagues, students, and friends,

Following the successful courses of the last two years, we are again offering an international course in floral morphology and angiosperm diversification in Berlin from the 28th July until the 8th of August 2025. 

The course is open to anyone interested in flowers and floral evolution or with an interest in plant systematics.

 
Please share this announcement with anyone you think might be interested.

This is the third version of a highly successful two-week workshop based at the Biological Institute of the Freie Universität Berlin and the Berlin Botanical Garden. The workshop benefits from extensive facilities, including functional microscopy laboratories and a huge plant collection of more than 20,000 species. The course is set up as lecture-based, laboratory taught, and interactive visits of the living collections.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
Final year undergraduate students, PhD students, post-doctoral and advanced researchers, professionals (but no formal restriction). A basic knowledge of botany is preferred but not essential.

COURSE INSTRUCTORS AND CONTACT:

Dr. Louis Ronse De Craene, Research Associate Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (l.ronsedecraene@gmail.com) Prof. Julien Bachelier, Freie Universität Berlin (julien.bachelier@fu-berlin.de)

REGISTRATION FEE:

€800 (€600 for Undergraduate and Master students)
(Registration includes coffee breaks, daily lunches with snacks, but does not include travel and

accommodation).

For further information please contact Dr. Louis Ronse De Craene (l.ronsedecraene@gmail.com).

PROGRAMME:
Course Description and outline:
This short course will introduce students to the structure and development of flowers, with a focus on floral diversity and evolution and the significance of flowers for systematics. Major plant families will be studied within the framework of the main lineages of seed plants to understand their evolution and diversification. Additionally, students will learn to analyse, describe, and study the structure of inflorescences, flowers, and fruits, and based on their observations, to identify the main evolutionary patterns underlying their tremendous morphological diversity, as well as their potential pollination and dispersal mechanisms.

Course objectives and learning outcomes:

Through this course students will acquire the following skills:

  • guidelines to identifying plants using morphological characters in the context of the molecularclassification system.
  • a better understanding of the origin and evolution of floral structures, including their importance forclassification, and of the main developmental patterns and evolutionary trends which underlie thetremendous diversity of reproductive structures.
  • an ability to observe and recognise key characters through the study of live floral material and the buildingup of floral diagrams.
  • Contents:
  • Introduction to morphology of vegetative structures and flowers, inflorescence and flower structure(floral diagrams and formulas).
  • Overview of major groups of flowering plants; major characteristics of Flowers and special attributes(phyllotaxis, aestivation, merism, symmetry, floral tubes and hypanthia).
  • Floral evolution of the major clades of angiosperms with special emphasis on morphological adaptations and diversification.
