DR. G. HACISALIHOGLU-RESEARCH LAB FOCUS:

  • Project 1: Single-Seed Based Phenomics: My research has opened the door to developing new research methods and tools such as near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and X-ray micro-CT to potentially quantify seed composition and quality traits. Specific seed composition traits I seek to predict are oil, protein, starch, minerals, volume, and density.
  • Project 2: Ionomics & Plant Nutrition: My team and I are studying genetic variation by screening hundreds of plant genotypes for zinc, phosphorus, and nitrogen traits. Our Zn efficient genotypes increase productivity and quality of plant species such as bean, wheat, and soybean in low zinc soils. We are also mapping QTLs for mineral composition, to be used for marker-assisted breeding with their differential expression contribution to low P tolerance in plants. This project provides critical sustainable solutions for both growers and industry.
