Author Information

Prof Swati Sen Mandi, basically an experimental biologist specialized in plant molecular biology, since her PhD at Cambridge University, UK, has been devoting all her research career to understand how plant system responds to abiotic stresses of all kinds. From studies on cell molecular events on (rice) seeds stored under ambient storage in tropical regions and also on tea leaf quality at high / low altitude she has made commendable progress in the understanding on the positive aspects of UV radiation particularly with respect to DNA repair and formation of secondary metabolites towards developing acclimation strategy. She has presented experimental data to demonstrate higher accumulation of flavonoids related to antioxidant and aroma potential in plants at high altitudes viz. in Darjeeling tea (leaf). Her interest in addressing problems of societal relevance through research on medicinal plants collected from high / low altitude (growing under high / low UV fluence) has been usefulin her continuing efforts for setting up a Centre for Research on medicinal plants of Eastern and North Eastern India. Significantly besides her excellent publications in reputed scientific journals and her experience as visiting scientist in different internationally renowned laboratories together with the International (Kenya) patent right she earned for her UV radiation related work on tea and the National (India) patent right she earned for development of DNA marker assisted selection of rice varieties with high seed vigour and viability traits bear ample testimony to her scientific standing. Her findings in the recent years on plant cell molecular mechanisms that constitute acclimation strategy associated trait development in plants has been documented in this text book entitled “Natural UV radiation in enhancing survival value and quality of plants”.
