I am working as professor of plant genetics, genomics and phenomics at Department of Biotechnology, Mersin University, Turkey. Mersin university is located at the Eastern Mediterranean location of Turkey and Mersin is located in the Agricultural heart of Turkey. Mersin is famous for green houses and contribute for vegetable and citrus prof-duction of country and also responsible for the export of different vegetables and fruits abroad. There are many agricultural research institute in Mersin and its sorrunding city Adana where most of field experşments on cereals, vegetable and industrail crops can be performed. Since its establishment in 1992; Mersin university now has the 16 faculties including faculty of science, the number of colleges are 7, the number of vocational schools are 11, the number of institutes are 5, and the number of research centers are 34. Agricultural faculty is also going to start its activity this year. University has well established labortary for genomics, green house experiments and field experiments in collaboration with agricultural research institute.

I am professor of crop genetics, genomics and phenomics. My area of expertise are QTL, mappingi germplasm characterization, GWAS, and genomic prediction. I am involved in different international and European projects. I am currently running ERANET project for developing climate resilient sorhghum varierties under limited water and nitrogen condition by conducting field experiments under limited and non limited condition and as well as performing whole genome resequencing of sorghum diversity panel. Ina other funded COST project, we are screening sesame germplasm for Fe, Zn and Se and performing GWAS analysis for biofortifying the sesame germplasm from Mediterrranean belt. I am also partner in europen cofunded WATER4ALL projects. I have more 112 SCI publication mostly Q1& Q2 in web of science data base. I am very open to collaborate for different PRIMA calls as partner with my expertise in genomics and as well as we will be able to conduct different field trails in different crops. I have diversity panel of various crops such as wheat, bean, chickpea, lentil laurel, sesame peanut and some vegetable crops as well. O am looing to be partner in any PRIMA project
