The course provides students with a knowledge of mushroom diseases caused by various pathogenic
agents and pests , besides some basic information on mushroom cultivation. Mainly the diseases and
pests which effect the mushroom production in Turkey are handled. Throughout the course the
diseases are studied under the topics of symptoms, agents, disease cycles and control measures. The
topics of the pests include description, biology, damage and control .

The aim of the course is focused on understanding and quantification of plant diseases on
population scale and evaluation of this information to determine the appropriate methods and
strategies of disease management. The main topics of the course include seasonal carry-over of
pathogens; inoculum release, dispersal and deposition; the spread of pathogens within crop areas;
the factors which influence the spread of pathogens within crop areas and disease forcasting.

Students will learn honey plant species which are commonly used in apiculture. Different honey
plant species will be covered in terms of their honey production potential, nectar and polen
capacity, type of nectar secretion organs. In addition to these, factors effecting nectar production.,
different nectar sources, poisonous honey plants, will also teach in course. In the practice part of
the course, students will learn herbarium preparation techniques for honey plants

Current knowledge of dsRNA genetic factors from different biological systems are unified on this course.
The course has cover that the nature, origin and biological roles of double-stranded RNA that are capable of
replication in fungi, plants and animals. It has convey that dsRNA biology could allow us to create
solutions for problems ranging from plant disease management. dsRNA are powerful means of modulating
gene expression. Presence of small amounts of dsRNA elicits sequence-specific gene silencing, which may
lead to the development of treatments aimed at silencing harmful genes causing serious diseases in animals
and humans.

Plant disease resistance and its importance in plant disease management will be explained to the
students. The types of plant disease resistance and plant and host interactions in mechanisms of
plant disease resistance will be covered in details. Plant disease resistance genes and their
structures and funtions will be studied by giving examples on different plant-host interactions.
Techniques of developing disease resistant plants and varieties and use of disease resistant
varieties in agriculture will be taught the students .
