Assist. Prof. Dr. Halit Karagoz | Agricultural | Research Excellence Award

Ege University | Turkey

Dr. Halit Karagoz’s research portfolio reflects a comprehensive and multidisciplinary contribution to field crops science, with a strong emphasis on crop breeding, stress physiology, and sustainable agricultural practices. His work integrates classical and modern approaches in plant breeding, including cold tolerance screening, mutagenesis, polyploidy induction, genetic diversity analysis, and population structure assessment in cereals and medicinal–aromatic plants. A significant body of his research focuses on wheat, barley, triticale, and endemic oregano species, addressing agronomic performance, quality traits, and adaptation to abiotic stresses such as cold and drought. He has also made notable contributions to the application of plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for improving plant growth, nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and essential oil composition, thereby supporting environmentally friendly and sustainable production systems. His studies employ molecular, epigenetic, and agro-morphological tools to advance crop improvement and conservation of local genetic resources. The scientific impact of this work is reflected in an h-index of 7, with publications receiving citations across 146 citing documents and a documented corpus of 9 indexed research outputs, demonstrating recognized influence within the fields of crop science, plant genetics, and sustainable agriculture.
