Reviews

Author Information

Dr. Abhijit Sarkar is currently an assistant professor of botany at the University of Gour Banga (India). He holds a BSc (Hons.) and an MSc in botany (with specialization in plant physiology, biochemistry, and plant molecular biology) from the University of Calcutta (India) and a PhD in Botany from Banaras Hindu University (India). Dr. Sarkar's research work encompasses air pollution and its effects on plant biology and human health, including ozone, heat, UV radiation (natural and manmade), plant pathogens, with close collaborators in Japan, South Korea, Nepal, United States, Italy, and India. Dr. Pardeep Singh is presently working as an assistant professor at the Department of Environment Studies, PGDAV College, University of Delhi, India. He obtained his master's degree from the Department of Environmental Science at Banaras Hindu University, India in 2011 and then his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), India, in 2017. He has published more than 35 papers in international journals in the field of waste management and co-edited over 30 books with various publishers. Professor Randeep Rakwal is a professor at the University of Tsukuba (Japan), at the Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences. His major research interests in plant environmental stress biology are jasmonic acid, ozone, heat, radiations, plant pathogens using “omics” approaches, with close collaborators in Japan, South Korea, Nepal, USA, Italy, Australia and India. He is one of the founding members of the International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO). Ganesh Kumar Agrawal is the Associate Director of RLABB, a nonprofit research organization focusing on biotechnology and biochemistry in Kathmandu, Nepal. Dr. Agrawal is a multidisciplinary scientist focused on food security and human nutrition using high-throughput and targeted omics techniques. He has edited a comprehensive “Plant Proteomics: Technologies, Strategies, and Applications” book (John Wiley & Sons, NY, USA). He holds a PhD in Applied Biological Chemistry from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (Japan). He is an initiator of the International Plant Proteomics Organization (InPPO).
