معرفی
Musa Doğan is a Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences at Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey. His research focuses on Plant Systematics, including morphology, anatomy, cytology, ecology, and genetics of plants, with emphasis on the families Poaceae, Lamiaceae, and Plumbaginaceae, as well as the Flora of Turkey. He has contributed to taxonomic revisions, molecular phylogenies, and conservation prioritization of plant species.
- Education: Postdoc at Edinburgh University (1987–1989), Ph.D. (1978–1982), M.Sc. (1977), and B.Sc. (1977) in Botany from Edinburgh and Ankara Universities.
Research interests include plant systematics methodologies, pollination biology, and the application of modern techniques to analyze plant diversity. His work bridges traditional morphological studies with molecular approaches, addressing biogeographic and conservation challenges in Anatolian flora.
Publications span systematic revisions of genera like Salvia, Lamium, and Acantholimon, alongside studies on pollen morphology, nutlet micromorphology, and phylogenetic relationships. His recent work highlights Salvia’s ecological and taxonomic diversity in Turkey, emphasizing endemism and conservation needs.
No scientific awards explicitly mentioned. Research has involved collaborations with international teams, as seen in cross-border studies on Plumbaginaceae and Salvia.
Teaching and advising roles are not detailed, but his contributions to graduate training are implied through his research output. His lab’s activities focus on integrating fieldwork, microscopy, and molecular techniques to advance plant systematics.
