A new Turkish processing tomato hybrid (F1) with early maturity, high brix content and deep-red color was developed in the laboratory of The Doganlar/Frary Lab for Plant Molecular Genetics and Breeding
The bar coding work on Turkish olive species at DNA level being conducted in the laboratories of the İzmir High Technology Institute (IHTI) in Turkey has been completed. The molecular identification cards of olive trees were created as a resulted of the three-year project. Olives, with a growing significance in recent years based on information about olive oil having a...read more →
IZMIR, TURKEY – Tomatoes are known to be rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C, lycopene, β-carotene, and phenolics. Antioxidants, substances capable of delaying or inhibiting oxidation processes caused by free radicals, are of interest to consumers for their health-related contributions, and to plant breeders for their ability to provide plants with natural resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. While...read more →

Molecular genetic diversity and population structure of approximately 500 fababean accessions will be examined in collaboration with Polen Seed Co., Manisa. This project is supported by the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology (SANTEZ PROGRAM).
Molecular genetic diversity and population structure of approximately 1200 grape accessions will be examined in collaboration with the Grape Research Station, Tekirdağ.
Molecular genetic diversity and population structure of approximately 500 hazelnut accessions will be examined in collaboration with Dr. Anita Solar, Ljubljana University, Slovenia and the Hazelnut Research Station, Giresun. This project is supported by the Turkish and Slovenian governments.
Adulteration of high quality olive oil with other species’ oils is an important concern for the oil sector and consumers. Current chemical methods are insufficient for detecting such adulteration. In this project DNA markers that are specific for olive and other oil species including sunflower, canola, cotton, corn, soybean and sesame will be developed. These markers will be used to...read more →
In collaboration with the Aegean Agricultural Research Institute, the first Turkish processing tomato hybrid was developed. This hybrid is high yielding and had high soluble solids. Seed available from Polen Seed Co. For further information contact Dr. Oner Yesilkaya.
