Objectives of the Course

To enable students to gain the ability to recognize, classify and evaluate plants by understanding the evolutionary development of plants, their relationship with the environment, basic taxonomic groups and their place in human life.

Course Content

In this course, evolutionary processes of plants, environmental adaptations, biogeography and plant diversity of Turkey are discussed. Seedless and seeded plant groups are introduced systematically. The relationship of plants with humans, animals and sustainable life is supported by applied topics such as herbarium, plant identification techniques and biomimicry.
