Department of Plant Production and Genetics Engineering was established in 1995 and started to offer Master of Science programs in Agronomy, Agricultural Biotechnology, and Agroecology in 2009, 2010, and 2012, respectively. Since 2012, the department has also started training Ph.D. students in Agronomy. In addition to this department started to offer Ph.D. students in Agricultural Biotechnology in 2016.

In 2008, the Department of Plant Production and Genetics Engineering in the field of agricultural biotechnology in the field of postgraduate education was further developed and accepted students with master's degree in this field. In 2009, the enrollment of students in associate and bachelor's degrees was stopped, and in their place, the field of continuous bachelor's degree in plant production and genetics with the tendency of plant breeding was established. In 2012, the group succeeded in admitting a student to the master's degree in MSc of Agroecology.

After developing various master’s degrees, the Department of Plant Production and Genetics Engineering 2012 accepted students in the Ph.D. program in agriculture. Also, after attracting undergraduate students in agricultural biotechnology in 2015, the group succeeded in admitting Ph.D. students in agricultural biotechnology in 2016.
