The aim of this course is; to investigate the synthesis steps of fatty acids in plants and the genes, enzymes and proteins involved in every stage of synthesis and to investigate how and how the synthesis mechanisms under stress conditions are affected and how to change the synthesis of fatty acids by gene modification techniques.
The content of course is to inform about the biosynthesis flow chart of the fatty acids synthesized in plants and to transfer the biotechnology techniques to obtain the desired properties in food consumption.
| 1. | Examination of the differences between the mechanisms of fatty acid synthesis in plants |
| 2. | Explain of differences between vegetable fatty acids |
| 3. | Explain of modification techniques in fatty acids for food consumption |
| 4. | The effects of environmental factors on biosynthesis and metabolism of plant oils |
| 5. | Importance of vegetable oils in terms of nutrition physiology |
