In the study conducted at the University of Florida within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 2219 Overseas Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Programme, the leaf inclination angle was changed by co-editing the multiple allelic structure of the LG1 gene in sugarcane, making it possible to select the ideotype for biomass yield.
Our Rector, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Topal, expressed his satisfaction with the increase in the quality of scientific publications and thanked Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar, President of the Council of Higher Education, who provided all kinds of support in achieving national and international successes.
Our Rector underlined that this support contributed significantly to the recognition of our University in the national and international arena, congratulated Prof. Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Baloğlu and other academics involved in the study, and wished them continued success in their work.
