General information

Short Summary
Turkish Agricultural Research Institute is looking for a partnership focusing on the 4th “Biodiversity and Transformative Change” Call for transnational Research Proposals
Full Description
Turkish Agricultural Research Institute since 1963 carries out R&D research activities on biodiversity and genetic resources, breeding of field crops, and horticulture with getting advantages from plant tissue culture and biotechnology, seed production and apiculture (beekeeping techniques, bee diseases, and pests, pollination, food technology on bee product, breeding/genetics, honey bee behavior, and Bumblebee breeding) in using 2053 decades(open field) and 10,000m2 (closed area-greenhouses)

The Institute has expertise mainly in the breeding of horticulture and field crops as well as seed production and conservation of these genetic resources, by using soil practices.

The Institute, operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forest was established in 1963 in Izmir, Turkey. There are 95 researchers (Agricultural Engineer (Field Crops, Horticulture, Plant Protection, Agricultural Economics, Animal Science, and Agricultural Machinery), Veterinary Medicine, Food Engineer, Biologist, and Chemist) in the technical staff of the Institute.
