Program Outcomes PO-1 To be able to determine the field related problems and analysis them to find the solutions as a specialist by using the knowledge coming from undergraduate level. PO-2 To be able to develop and apply research strategies, which depend on the new technological achievements, for novel studies about molecular cell biology, plant biotechnology and molecular genetics fields on the basis of undergraduate qualifications. PO-3 To be able to discuss field related subjects by using at least one foreign language. PO-4 To be sensitive against public problems and be able to create solutions to these problems by synthesis of knowledge coming from other disciplines with the abilities and knowledge of the related field PO-5 To be able to take independent decision in the frame of specialized knowledge and scientific approach about field and lead/proceed a project by using creativity skills. PO-6 To be able to decide independently during solving the problem and contribute the group labor in harmony. PO-7 To be able to present information which is supported by quantitative and qualitative data to groups in/outside of the field by written, oral and visually. PO-8 To consider to behave properly in human rights and scientific ethics at research. PO-9 To be able to use informatics and communication skills according required level for area. PO-10 To obtain required quality about field in order to maintain higher academic degree

Learning Outcomes LO-1 To cognise the importance of mutations in increasing of genetic variabilities. LO-2 To betray the problem solutions in the conventional breeding during using of tissue culture techniques in mutation breeding LO-3 Mutagen types, in vitro applications of the mutagens and learning of radiobiologic informations after determining the radiation sensitivities of explants to radiation LO-4 Abiotic and biotic stress tolerances of the plants, to betray the importance of in vitro selection in developing new specialities like resistance to diseases. LO-5 The issues should be receive attention in solving the problems during the developing of new varieties, annotationand disscussion of the results of in vitro
