Our graduate program in Botany has three main lines of research:

​

1) Taxonomic, Evolutionary and Phytogeographic Botany: Morphoanatomical, taxonomic, phylogenetic and phytogeographic studies. Studies on plant diversity patterns at multiple scales, biological interactions, ecology and evolution of plant species.

​

2) Structural and Functional Botany: Studies of plant organs and tissues and the interrelationships between structure and function at different levels of biological organization. Functioning of organisms and their interactions with the environment.

​

3) Applied and Biotechnological Botany: Studies and development of biotechnologies based on basic knowledge of flora. The relationship between the use of species and society. Management and sustainable use of flora.
