Diagnostic assessments and stress-response profiling for abiotic stresses (salt, drought, heavy metals) across major crops.

Testing, evaluation and optimization of biostimulants and phytohormones for improved plant stress tolerance.

With experts in vegetable breeding, horticulture, agricultural biotechnology, tissue culture, and molecular genetics, the lab can support: Breeding strategy consulting Stress-resistant genotype selection Lab-to-field transition guidance

Prof. Yıldırım and colleagues have strong backgrounds in vegetable science, seedling physiology, production techniques, and stress trials, enabling the lab to provide: Controlled-condition plant growth experiments Nutrient/stress treatments Crop performance evaluations

The team publishes heavily on: Gene family characterization (GPAT, CHS, OFP, AHL, FtsH, β-GAL, etc.) DNA methylation & epigenetic stress responses Retrotransposon activity under stress The lab can offer genomic profiling, stress‑gene screening, molecular marker analysis, and bioinformatics-based gene family studies.

With expertise in somatic embryogenesis, micropropagation, embryo culture, and regeneration protocols (especially in wheat and medicinal plants), the lab can support: Micropropagation of rare or valuable plant lines Regeneration protocol development Somaclonal variation evaluation

To help stakeholders in government and business make sThe lab members conduct extensive research on abiotic stresses such as salt, drought, heavy metals (Cd, As, Hg, Pb), and environmental toxicity across crops like tomato, bean, wheat, lettuce, pepper, etc. This allows the lab to offer diagnostic assessments and stress-response profiling for growers and researchers.mart decisions.

The researchers frequently work with melatonin, strigolactone, chrysin, humic acid, NAC, salicylic acid, and other biostimulants to improve plant stress tolerance. The lab can provide testing, evaluation, and optimization services for biostimulant companies, seed producers, and research institutes.

All four researchers supervise theses and publish extensively, indicating readiness for: Academic collaborations Graduate/undergraduate training Workshops on tissue culture, molecular analysis, and stress physiology

The large number of peer‑reviewed publications allows the lab to provide: Literature-based reports Scientific data interpretation Research summary services for industry partners
