Furkan Çoban has specialized in agricultural science and plant cultivation as a plant scientist for over 15 years. Combining his academic and industrial experience, he has worked on plant breeding, improving quality and yield in industrial crops, discovering bioactive compounds, and sustainable agricultural practices. After completing his education in agricultural engineering at Selçuk University, he pursued a Ph.D. at Atatürk University, focusing on the effects of nitrogen applications and planting techniques on the quality and bioactive compound profiles of industrial crops. He has also served as a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, concentrating on innovative green biostructures, converting plant biomass into value-added products, and modern plant breeding programs.

In 2014, I commenced my role as a research assistant with ÖYP (Faculty Member Training Program) at Selçuk University's Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops and Department of Medicinal Plants. In 2021, I completed my doctoral specialisation in the Department of Medicinal Plants. I am currently employed as a Assist. Dr. at my current institution. My research activities encompass the development and production of medicinal plants, the maintenance of consistent yields, the standardisation of processes, the transformation of herbal products, the quality assessment of the resulting materials, and the evaluation of the outcomes.

Keywords: The author should provide a maximum of 6 keywords in alphabetical order separated with semicolons, not included in the title. The scientific or systematic names of plants and fungi should be italicized. eg. Triticum aestivum; in vitro; in vivo.
Results and Discussions: In this section, the data and information should be presented using tables or figures. The Editorial Board has the right to decline the manuscript in the event no proper statistical analysis selection or incorrect statistical procedures are used. The findings should be discussed but the author/s should be aware of unnecessary repetitions. Findings should be compared with other previous study literature and reasons for similarities or differences should be defined.
Author Contributions: For research articles with several authors, a short paragraph specifying their individual contributions must be provided. The following statements should be used “Conceptualization, X.X. and Y.Y.; methodology, X.X.; software, X.X.; validation, X.X., Y.Y. and Z.Z.; formal analysis, X.X.; investigation, X.X.; resources, X.X.; data curation, X.X.; writing—original draft preparation, X.X.; writing—review and editing, X.X.; visualization, X.X.; supervision, X.X.; project administration, X.X.; funding acquisition, Y.Y. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.” Please turn to the CRediT taxonomy for the term explanation. Authorship must be limited to those who have contributed substantially to the work reported.
Funding: Please add: “This research received no external funding "or " This research was funded by NAME OF FUNDER, grant number XXX” and “The APC was funded by XXX”. Check carefully that the details given are accurate and use the standard spelling of funding agency names at https://search.crossref.org/funding. Any errors may affect your future funding.
Data Availability Statement: In this section, please provide details regarding where data supporting reported results can be found, including links to publicly archived datasets analyzed or generated during the study. Please refer to the suggested Data Availability Statements in the section “SJAFS Research Data Policies” at https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/selcukjafsci/policy. You might choose to exclude this statement if the study did not report any data.
Acknowledgments: In this section, you can acknowledge any support given which is not covered by the author contribution or funding sections. This may include administrative and technical support, or donations in kind (e.g., materials used for experiments).
Conflicts of Interest: Declare conflicts of interest or state “The authors declare no conflict of interest.” Authors must identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of reported research results. Any role of the funders in the design of the study; in the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript, or in the decision to publish the results must be declared in this section. If there is no role, please state “The funders had no role in the design of the study; in the collection, analyses, or interpretation of data; in the writing of the manuscript, or in the decision to publish the results”.

Units: SI (System International Units) must be used. For decimal use, full stop or point must be used instead of commas (e.g., 1.25 instead of 1,25). In units, '/ ' must not be used and there must be one free space between units (e.g., m s-1 must be used instead of m/s; J s-1 must be used instead of J/s; kg m s−2 must be used instead of kg m/s2). There must be one free space between the number and symbol (e.g., 4 kg N ha-1, 3 kg m−1 s−2, 20 N m, 1000 s−1, 100 kPa, 22 °C). There is a special case for degree, minute, and second (°, ′ and ″) symbols. Those symbols must be used just after the number (e.g., 10°, 45', 60"). The abbreviation of liter must be as 'L'. If the symbols are not at the end of the sentence, the full stop must not be used after the symbol.
