Hayati ARDA serves as Manager of Ipsala Vocational College at Trakya University since June 15, 2006, holding a Professorial academic rank within the Department of Plant and Animal Production. With educational qualifications including a Doctoral Degree (1997), Master's Degree (1990), Bachelor's Degree (1987), and High School graduation (1980), ARDA has established a distinguished career in plant science research.
Research interests focus on Plant Biotechnology and Environmental Stress Physiology, particularly examining sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) responses to herbicides, heavy metals, and conservation of endangered flora. Key research areas include miRNA therapeutics, herbicide resistance mechanisms, and in vitro conservation techniques for threatened species like Dianthus ingoldbyi and Silene sangaria.
Analysis of 15 recent publications reveals consistent specialization in agricultural biotechnology with emphasis on sunflower physiology (60% of works), endangered species conservation (25%), and environmental toxicology (15%). Temporal trends show evolution from foundational tissue culture studies (2004-2010) toward molecular mechanisms of stress response (2016-2022), with recent integration of dermatological applications through wheat miRNA research.
ARDA advises graduate students including a Master's thesis on IMI herbicide effects on sunflower anatomy, and leads multiple research projects funded by Trakya University and Turkish Development Agency. Current projects include 'Physiological and Genetic Responses to IMI Applications in Sunflower Farming' (ongoing since 2015) and previous work on heavy metal accumulation in Gala Lake ecosystems.
Laboratory work centers on plant tissue culture facilities at Ipsala Vocational College, with specialized capabilities in scanning electron microscopy, phytohormone analysis, and genetic expression profiling. Research teams collaborate across Balkan institutions as evidenced by conference participation in Bulgaria and regional botanical congresses.
