Emine Mine Soylu | Plant Pathology | Best Researcher Award Published on 20/09/202520/09/2025 by Cell Biologist Prof. Dr. Emine Mine Soylu | Plant Pathology | Best Researcher Award Hatay Mustafa Kemal University | Turkey Prof. Dr. Emine Mine Soylu is a prominent academic in the field of plant pathology, with a career spanning over three decades dedicated to plant protection, host-pathogen interactions, and disease management strategies in crops. She began her professional journey as a Research Assistant at Akdeniz University and has since contributed significantly to scientific research through both experimental studies and scholarly publications. Her work is widely recognized, with a particular focus on the identification and control of fungal and bacterial diseases in economically important plants. Prof. Soylu has published 54 scientific documents in internationally refereed journals and has amassed a total of 3,749 citations, reflecting the substantial impact of her work in the field. Her h-index is 25, indicating consistent and high-quality contributions to science over the years. Her research includes first reports of various plant diseases in Türkiye and in-depth studies on disease resistance mechanisms and biochemical plant responses. Prof. Soylu’s contributions continue to shape the future of sustainable agriculture and plant health, and her collaborations extend across national and international scientific communities. Her scholarly output and citation metrics demonstrate her strong influence in the field of phytopathology and plant-microbe interactions. Profiles: Google Scholar | Scopus | Orcid Featured Publications: “Preliminary Characterization of Race-Specific Elicitors From Peronospora parasitica and Its Ability to Elicit Phenolic Accumulation in Arabidopsis” “First Report of Downy Leaf Spot of Walnuts Caused by Microstroma juglandis in Turkey” “Induction of Disease Resistance by the Plant Activator, Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), Against Bacterial Canker (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis) in Tomato Seedlings” “First Report of Powdery Mildew Caused by Erysiphe heraclei on Dill (Anethum graveolens) in Turkey” “Light and Electron Microscopy of the Compatible Interaction Between Arabidopsis and the Downy Mildew Pathogen Peronospora parasitica” “Induction of Defence Related Enzymes and Resistance by the Plant Activator Acibenzolar-S-methyl in Tomato Seedlings Against Bacterial Canker Caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis” “First Report of Cercospora Leaf Spot on Swiss Chard Caused by Cercospora beticola in Turkey” “First Report of Phloeospora Leaf Spot on Mulberry Caused by Phloeospora maculans (=Cylindrosporium maculans) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of Turkey” “Induction of Disease Resistance and Antioxidant Enzymes by Acibenzolar-S-methyl Against Bacterial Canker (Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis) in Tomato” “First Report of Powdery Mildew Caused by Podosphaera phaseoli (syn. Sphaerotheca phaseoli) on Cowpea (Vigna sinensis) in Turkey”
