I specialize in legume genetics and genomics, investigating plant-soil interactions to cultivate resilient crops. Seeking partners for collaboration!
Dr. Melike Bakir is an Associate Professor at Erciyes University, Türkiye, specializing in plant genetics, molecular breeding, and crop evolution with a focus on legumes. Holding a PhD in Plant Biotechnology, her research centers on developing genomic tools, such as SSR and SNP markers, to enhance breeding efforts and promote genetic diversity in both cultivated and wild legume species.
Her most recent project explores plant-soil interactions in wild chickpeas, aiming to understand how the domestication process has affected the resilience of plants. Dr. Bakir’s research contributions have been widely recognized, with publications in peer-reviewed journals and numerous international citations, reflecting her impact in the fields of crop genetic.
She actively engages in interdisciplinary collaborations and seeks to promote sustainable agriculture through innovative breeding approaches, aiming to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and practical applications in crop improvement.
