On March 28, 2025, a master class on promising haploid technologies and plant cloning methods was held at METU in the Department of "Biochemical Engineering," led by N. K. Nokerbekova, PhD, Associate Professor.

Since the discovery of haploidy, biotechnology has become an integral part of the successful development of new varieties and hybrids of various plant species. These technologies are especially actively applied in agriculture, which is interested in increasing production volumes and improving the quality of the products produced.

The master class was attended not only by students but also by METU faculty members and researchers from the Institute of Microbiology and Virology, the Institute of Genetics and Physiology, and the Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology.
