How the slide set is used in teaching
Botany courses usually follow the plant kingdom from simple to complex forms, and this set supports that order. Students start with fungi such as Mucor, Penicillium and yeast, and with algae such as Chlamydomonas, Spirogyra and Fucus, then move to the bryophytes Marchantia and Mnium, where the sex organs, antheridia and archegonia, can be compared. The fern Dryopteris shows both generations of the life cycle: sori on the sporophyte leaf and the small prothallus that carries the gametes.
Among seed plants, sections of Pinus, Prunus, Zea, Helianthus, Cucurbita and Tilia let students compare leaf, stem and root tissues and see secondary growth, while the Ranunculus flower bud and pollen slides introduce flowers and pollination. The Allium root tip slide shows the stages of mitosis in dividing cells.
