Research Laboratory
Our research laboratory, established in a 100 m² area, facilitates studies in the fields of fruit, vegetable, vine, and ornamental plants. The laboratory is equipped to conduct chemical, biochemical, and physical analyses on plant samples.
Vase Life Laboratory
Our vase life laboratory, established in a 40 m² area, is dedicated to research on the postharvest durability of cut flowers. This facility was brought to our department and faculty by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tuğba KILIÇ as part of the 1002 Rapid Support Project.
Tissue Culture Laboratory
Our tissue culture laboratory consists of a preparation room, a transfer room for sterile operations, and a growth chamber with controlled light, temperature, and humidity. Various in vitro culture methods are tested here, focusing on objectives such as rapid propagation, genetic resource conservation, secondary metabolite production, preservation of endangered species, and the cultivation of species that are challenging to propagate.
Student Research and Application Laboratories
The student application laboratory, established in an 80 m² area, is equipped with 20 stereo binocular microscopes and 15 light microscopes for student use. Additionally, there is a stereo binocular microscope with a digital HD camera connected to a projector. This setup allows instructors to demonstrate detailed examinations of sample materials in real-time, enabling students to observe the materials on their own microscopes simultaneously.
Furthermore, to enhance students' computer skills, a computer laboratory with 30 fully equipped computers is available for use.
