Basic information

Language of instruction:	English
Type of course:	Non-Departmental Elective
Course Level:	Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle)
Mode of Delivery:	Face to face
Course Coordinator :	Assist. Prof. MERVE SEVEN
Recommended Optional Program Components:	There is none.
Course Objectives:	The aim of the course is to introduce basic concepts in plant biology and plant genetics. Information is given about plant cell types, plant tissues and different plant organs. Thus, knowledge about plant physiology as a whole is gained. The fundamentals of photosynthesis and nutrient cycles, which are important in the metabolism of plants, are comprehensively described. Then, plant genomes, mitochondria and chloroplast genomes structures are introduced and gene transfer, mobile genetic elements and epigenetics are processed in plants.
