Nusret Zencirci is a graduate of Çukurova University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops. He worked as a wheat breeder in the Central Research Institute of for Field Crops, Ankara and served as a National and International Coordinator to National and International Wheat programs and also to International Winter Wheat Improvement Program. He is professor now at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, Science and Art Faculty, Biology Department, Bolu, Turkey. He is a member of various editorial boards in many international journals. He is, with his team, breeder of 22 bread and durum wheat cultivars. His research interests are Cereals, Biotic and Abiotic Stresses, Plant Genetic Resources, and Wheat Breeding.

Hakan Ulukan graduated from The University of Ankara, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, 06110, Dışkapı, Ankara, Türkiye in 1987. After graduation he began MSc, and upon the completion it was sent to Italy for 7 months on “Cereal Agriculture”. After returning, he started his Ph.D. thesis in 1990, and completed it in 1997 on “wheat rust diseases”. Now, he is an academic staff at the same Dept. His study areas are cereals (major and minor), wheat rusts diseases, wheat landraces, wheat growing and breeding, plant genetic resources, biotic/abiotic stresses, global warming effect(s) on field crop(s)’ production, agronomy, and ecology, etc.
