| Course objective | In the natural habitat, outside of glasshouses, pollination and fertilizing of many plants are occuring by honey bees. Honey bees are playing a quite important role in increasing of botanical product and quality. In this lesson context which plants, in what way and when must pollinate by honeybees is explained. Thus, it is mentioned that how honeybees and pollinators are important for sustainability of humanity and life. Also explanations are being done about reproduction of plants and embryology. | |||||

| Course Content | Informations will be given about the histology of embryology, flower morphology, microsporangium, male gametophyt, megasporangium, female gametophyt, pollination and pollination kinds, pollination and fertilizing of glasshouses plants (Phaseolus spp., Rubus spp, Allium spp., vb.), herbaceous plants (Vicia cracca L., Trifolium spp., Melilotus spp., etc.), oily plants (Glycine max (L.) Merr., Gossypium spp., Oleae europaea L., etc.), fruit trees (Citrus spp., Prunus spp., Pyrus spp., Malus spp., vb.) and the other plants (Beta vulgaris L., Brassica spp., Carum carvi L., etc.), endosperm, embryo, polyembryony, apomixis and seed. | |||||
