AREA OF RESEARCH

The primary reseach focus of the laboratory is on the principles and methods of Plant Systematics including morphology, anatomy, cytology, ecology and genetics of plants. Emphasis is on retrieving and analyzing Plant Systematic data useing current techniques for understanding  identification, classification,  evolution and conservation priorities. Particular reseach studies carried out in the recent past are mainly based on the families of  Poaceae, Lamiaceae, Plumbaginaceae and the Flora of Turkey.
