Dr. Lecturer Steven Footitt and his team began researching the genetics required to produce “smart plants” resistant to climate change. With the 2-year project supported by the Boğaziçi University Scientific Research Fund (BAP), gene research will reveal how climate change affects the dormancy state that prevents germination in plant seeds. According to Footitt, this will make a great contribution to the production of smart plants, and an important step will be taken in agriculture and food security in Turkey.
