About
Institution: Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Türkiye.
Contact: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ömer Faruk Coşkun
Our research group is interested in participating in MSCA Staff Exchanges 2027 projects as a consortium partner and exploring opportunities for joint proposal development.
Research Expertise
Our research activities focus on:
-
Vegetable genetic resources, germplasm characterization, and genetic diversity
-
Molecular markers (ISSR, SSR, SNP) and marker-assisted breeding approaches
-
Plant biotechnology and in vitro propagation
-
Physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses to abiotic stresses, particularly drought, salinity, and heat
-
Vegetable grafting, rootstock selection, and stress tolerance
-
Gene expression analysis using RT-qPCR
-
Sustainable horticultural production and climate adaptation
-
Phenotypic characterization and statistical analysis of plant responses
Potential Contributions to MSCA Staff Exchanges
We are interested in contributing to collaborative research, staff secondments, knowledge exchange, training activities, experimental design, plant phenotyping, molecular characterization, and joint scientific publications.
Our research group can contribute expertise in laboratory and greenhouse-based experimentation, molecular and physiological analyses, and the evaluation of crop genetic resources.
Collaboration Interests
We welcome collaboration with universities, research institutes, and relevant industry partners working in plant sciences, agricultural biotechnology, sustainable crop production, and climate-resilient agriculture.
We are open to joining existing MSCA Staff Exchanges consortia or jointly developing new proposals with international partners.
