Diaaeldin Daghma

Diaaeldin Daghma serves as Group Leader of EdTissOmics at the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI) in Quedlinburg, Germany, within the Institute for Breeding Research on Horticultural Crops since November 2023. His research spans plant biotechnology, mutagenesis, and cell biology with particular focus on plant embryogenesis and cereal genetics.

Dr. Daghma's research interests center on plant biotechnology and mutagenesis, with significant contributions to understanding barley pollen embryogenesis, Arabidopsis embryo development, and CRISPR-based genome editing techniques. His work demonstrates expertise in cellular dynamics during plant development, epigenetic regulation, and advanced microscopy techniques. Early career research included bone biology and osteoporosis models, indicating a transition toward plant-focused research in recent years.

His publication record shows consistent output since 2011 with 14 documented works, featuring prominent journals in plant science and developmental biology. Recent publications (2021-2023) focus on doubled haploid barley production, CRISPR applications, and Arabidopsis embryo development, reflecting his current research trajectory in plant biotechnology.

Dr. Daghma has served as a peer reviewer for Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, demonstrating active engagement in the academic community. His collaborative work with researchers like Kumlehn, Hensel, and Melzer indicates strong institutional partnerships within plant biotechnology.
