Dr. Mohammad Anwar Hossain is a professor in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh. He received his B.Sc. in agriculture and M.S. in genetics and plant breeding from Bangladesh Agricultural University, Bangladesh. He also received an M.Sc. in agriculture from Kagawa University, Japan, in 2008 and a Ph.D. in abiotic stress physiology and molecular biology from Ehime University, Japan, in 2011. In November 2015 he moved to Tokyo University, Japan, as a JSPS postdoctoral scientist to work on isolating low phosphorus stress tolerant genes/QTLs from rice. He has published 25 research articles, 15 book chapters, and 5 review articles on important aspects of plant physiology and breeding, plant stress responses and tolerance mechanisms, and exogenous chemical priming-induced abiotic stress tolerance. Recently, he edited a book entitled Managing Salt Tolerance in Plants: Molecular and Genomic Perspectives published by CRC press, Taylor and Francis Group, USA. He has attended several international and national conferences for presenting his research findings. He is a professional member of the Bangladesh Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangladesh Association for Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology, and the Seed Science Society of Bangladesh. Dr. Shabir Hussain Wani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. He received his B.Sc. in Agriculture from BhimRao Agricultural University Agra, India and M.Sc. in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Central Agricultural University, Manipur, India and Ph.D. in Plant Breeding and Genetics on "Transgenic rice for abiotic stress tolerance" from the Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana India. After obtaining his PhD he worked as Research Associate in the Biotechnology Laboratory, ICAR-Central Institute of temperate Horticulture, Rangreth Srinagar India for two years, up to October 2011. In November 2011 he joined the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (Farm Science Centre) as Programme Coordinator (i/c) at Senapati Manipur, India. He teaches courses related to plant breeding, seed science and technology, and stress breeding, and has published more than 80 papers/chapters in journals, and books of international and national repute. He has also edited several books on current topics in crop Improvement including "Managing Salt Tolerance in Plants: Molecular and Genomic Perspectives" published by CRC press, Taylor and Francis Group, USA in 2015. His Ph.D. research resulted in first prize in North zone, at National level, competition in India. He was awarded a Young Scientist award from the society for Promotion of Plant Sciences, Jaipur India in 2009. He is the fellow of the Society for Plant Research, India. Recently he also received Young Scientist Award (Agriculture) 2015 from Society for Plant Research, Meerut, India. He has been selected for one year University Grants Commission funded RAMAN fellowship for Post Doc Research in Michigan State University USA for the year 2016-17. He has attended several International and National conferences, presenting his research.Dr. Soumen Bhattacharjee, presently Head, UGC Centre for Advanced Studies, Department of Botany, the University of Burdwan, West Bengal, completed his Masters in Botany and Ph.D. on the abiotic stress physiology of plants at the University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India. Later, he started his teaching career as a faculty member in the Department of Botany in Delhi University Constituent College. After serving almost two and half years, he joined the West Bengal Education Service and worked mainly in the Post Graduate Department of Botany, Hooghly Mohsin College, West Bengal, as Lecturer, Reader and Associa
