THEORETICAL PROGRAM

BLOCK 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE CONSERVATION OF THE THREATENED FLORA

Unit 1. Fundamentals of plant conservation. Background of the conservation of flora in Spain. Current situation and prospects. Endemic and rare flora. Threatened and protected flora.

BLOCK 2. METHODS AND TOOLS FOR THE STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF THREATENED PLANTS

Unit 2. Applications of plant reproductive biology to conservation. Reproductive systems, biology of pollen and stigma. Pollination as a critical process of fertilization. Biology of fruit and seed. Dispersion. Seeds rain and seed bank.

Unit 3. Demographic studies of plants. Censuses, age classes-sizes-phases, life tables, population projection matrices, etc. Viability analysis of plant populations: deterministic and probabilistic population models. Local determinants of the regeneration of plant populations.

Unit 4. Applications of population genetics to plant conservation. Structure, diversity and gene flow.

BLOCK 3. PROTECTION OF THREATENED FLORA

Unit 5. Threatened flora. Main threats to flora. Threat assessment and corrective measures. IUCN categories applied to plants.

Unit 6. Ex situ flora conservation techniques. Germplasm banks, micropropagation, cryopreservation. Botanical Gardens.

Unit 7. In situ techniques for the conservation of flora. Passive measures: Legislation on species and habitats. Natural Protected Areas. Conservation outside NPSs. Flora reserves design. Location, characterization and monitoring of populations. Active measures: Population control. Fences of exclusion. Restitution techniques

BLOCK 4. DESIGN OF PLANS FOR CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY OF PLANTS

Unit 8. Normative bases for the conservation of flora. Current international, national and autonomous legislation. Red books and red lists. Prioritization in the conservation of flora. Conservation and recovery plans.

PRACTICAL PROGRAM

Laboratory Practice: Pollen biology. Pollen stability and viability, Factors that affect pollen viability and fertility.

Practice outside the classroom (1): Visit to ex situ flora conservation facilities.

Practice outside the classroom (2): In situ conservation. The threatened flora inside and outside the Protected Natural Spaces.

The contents of this subject connect with the SDG-15 (LIFE AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS), specifically with the goals:

15.1. Ensure the conservation and sustainable use of ecosystems.

15.5. Measures against the degradation and loss of biodiversity.

15.6. Access and proper use of genetic resources.

15.8. Prevention of invasive species.

15.9. Integration of environmentally sensitive plans.

Master classes in the classroom, practices in laboratory and practice classes outside the classroom (visits to conservation facilities and field trips).

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

• Attendance control, participation and interest of the student (20 %)
• Theoric exam (50%)
• Reports and works on the practical part (30%)

In this scenario, all teaching activities, including evaluation, will be face-to-face to the extent that the social and health situation allows it. When the number of students and the capacities of the laboratories where the theory and practical classes will be developed allow it, the intended presence will be 100%.

1. TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
