معرفی
Dr. Mevlüde Alev ATEŞ is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology at Ahi Evran University's Faculty of Agriculture. She holds a PhD in Biology from Middle East Technical University (2017) and specializes in Plant Systematics, Molecular Biology, and Plant Biotechnology. Her research employs molecular techniques to study plant phylogenetics, genetic diversity in Turkish flora, and conservation of endemic species.
Education:
- PhD in Biology, Middle East Technical University (2011–2017)
- MSc in Biology, Middle East Technical University (2007–2011)
- BA in Mathematics and Science Education, Gazi University (2002–2007)
Research Focus: Her work integrates molecular phylogenetics, DNA barcoding, and biotechnology to address taxonomic ambiguities in genera like Astragalus, Gundelia, and Fabaceae crops. She explores applications in agricultural biotechnology, including genetic characterization of Turkish crops and stress physiology.
Publication Trends: Her 15 most recent articles (2020–2025) emphasize molecular systematics of endemic Turkish plants, discovery of new species, and genetic resource conservation. Common themes include ITS2/rDNA analysis, RAPD markers, and phylogenomics, frequently published in journals like Plants and Turkish Journal of Botany.
Awards:
- TÜBİTAK UBYT Publication Incentive Award (2024, 2022×2)
- İKSAD Science Award (2022)
- TÜBA Honorable Mention for book translation (2015)
Projects & Advising: She leads projects on molecular phylogenetics of Vicia and Astragalus, radiation effects on plants, and in vitro propagation of endemics. She advises Master's students on topics like genetic characterization of walnuts and molecular analysis of Vicia species.
Administrative Roles: Vice Dean (2024–present) and Erasmus Coordinator (2018–present) at Ahi Evran University.
