RESEARCH AREA
Plant Biotechnology
RESEARCH SUMMARY
My research focuses on the uptake, translocation, and signaling of micronutrients and the biofortification of crop species. I also work on the development of stress-tolerant crops via molecular breeding and genetic engineering technologies. My research group applies novel genetic and molecular techniques to identify transcription factors, transporters, and gene networks related to stress tolerance in soybean, potato, wheat, quinoa, and Arabidopsis with national and international partners.

Engineering of insecticidal hybrid gene into potato chloroplast genome exhibits promising control of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Md Jakir Hossain, Allah Bakhsh, Faiz Ahmad Joyia, Emre Aksoy, Neslihan Zahide Özturk Gökçe, Muhammad Sarwar Khan
Publication Date: 2023-09-14, doi:10.1007/s11248-023-00366-6
Abstract: The potato chloroplast was transformed with codon optimized synthetic hybrid cry gene (SN19) to mitigate crop losses by Colorado potato beetle (CPB). The bombarded explants (leaves and internode) were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l), NAA (0.2 mg/l), TDZ (2.0 mg/l) and GA3 (0.1 mg/l); spectinomycin 50 mg/l was used as a selection agent in the medium. Leaf explants of cultivar Kuroda induced highest percentage (92%) of callus where cultivar Santae produced the highest...
Identification and characterization of RNA polymerase II (RNAP) C-Terminal domain phosphatase-like 3 (SlCPL3) in tomato under biotic stress
Faisal Saeed, Muneeb Hassan Hashmi, Emre Aksoy, Ufuk Demirel, Allah Bakhsh
Publication Date: 2023-07-01, doi:10.1007/s11033-023-08564-5
Abstract: CONCLUSION: This study lays a solid foundation for the functional characterization of SlCPL-3 gene in tomato cultivars. All these findings would be beneficial for further analysis of SlCPL-3 gene and may be helpful for the development of resilient tomato cultivars.
General guidelines for CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing in plants
Emre Aksoy, Kubilay Yildirim, Musa Kavas, Ceyhun Kayihan, Bayram Ali Yerlikaya, Irmak Çalik, İlkay Sevgen, Ufuk Demirel
Publication Date: 2022-09-15, doi:10.1007/s11033-022-07773-8
Abstract: CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas (CRISPR-associated) technology is a versatile genome editing tool that has been used to improve agriculturally important plant traits. Due to its precision, CRISPR/Cas9 is more effective than either conventional plant breeding methods or standard genetic engineering approaches for the rapid development of new varieties resilient to climate change. In addition to knowledge in tissue culture-based plant transformation,...
Genes involved in mRNA surveillance are induced in Brachypodium distachyon under cadmium toxicity
Emre Aksoy, Ali Tevfik Uncu, Ertugrul Filiz, Şule Orman, Durmuş Çetin, M Aydın Akbudak
Publication Date: 2021-11-23, doi:10.1007/s11033-021-06952-3
Abstract: CONCLUSIONS: This is the first transcriptomic study investigating the effect of Cd toxicity in B. distachyon, a model plant for genomic studies in Poaceae (Gramineae) species. The results are expected to provide valuable information for more comprehensive research related to heavy metal toxicity in plants.
