The Agricultural Biotechnology Training Program focuses on enhancing agricultural productivity through genetic engineering, plant biotechnology, and microbial applications. Participants gain knowledge of sustainable and innovative farming methods.

The training is for professional development purposes, and the certificate obtained does not replace the MYK authorization certificate in trainings where the MYK authorization certificate is mandatory.

1. Introduction to Biotechnology

• Definition and history of biotechnology
• Role of biotechnology in agriculture
• Genetic engineering and bio-innovation concepts

2. Genetic Applications

• Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
• Genome editing techniques (CRISPR, TALEN, etc.)
• Molecular markers and selection methods

3. Microbial Biotechnology

• Soil bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi
• Biofertilizers and biopesticides
• Microbial gene transfer

4. Tissue Culture and Cell Technology

• Plant tissue culture techniques
• Clonal propagation and micropropagation
• In vitro plant production

5. Animal Biotechnology

• Genetic improvement methods
• Embryo transfer and cloning
• Biotechnology in animal health

6. Sustainability and Ethics

• Ethical issues in biotechnology
• Biosafety and regulatory frameworks
• Combating climate change with biotech solutions

The training is open to institutional collaborations (package for institution/company legal entities), and individual applications are not accepted. The training content can be reorganized according to your institutional participant profile and needs. As a result of mutual discussions, the scope and method of the training (face-to-face / online) are determined and the relevant processes are completed. In case of mutual agreement, the date, time, and location of the training are planned in line with the availability of your institution’s participants and our instructors.
