Author Information

M. Naeem is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Aligarh Muslim University, India. His research focuses on escalating the production of medicinal plants and their active principles using potent PGRs under normal and stressful environmental conditions. His research also focuses on abiotic stress tolerance in medicinal plants. Dr. Naeem has published over 100 research papers in reputable international journals. He has also authored 12 books and co-authored several book chapters published by international publishers. Based on his research contributions, Dr. Naeem has received multiple awards and recognitions. Tariq Aftab received his PhD degree in the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, India, and is currently an Assistant Professor there. He received prestigious Leibniz-DAAD fellowship from Germany, a Raman Fellowship from the Government of India, and Young Scientist Awards from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh and Government of India. He has worked as Visiting Scientist at IPK, Gatersleben, Germany, and in the Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, United States. He has edited 14 books with international publishers, including Elsevier Inc., Springer Nature, and CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group), co-authored several book chapters, and published over 65 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals. His research interests include physiological, proteomic, and molecular studies on medicinal and crop plants. Dr. M. Masroor A. Khan is a professor in the Department of Botany, AMU, Aligarh, India. After completing the PhD from AMU, he joined the Ohio State University, USA as Post-doctoral Fellow. After returning from USA, he worked as Pool Scientist (CSIR) and, later, as a Research Associate (CSIR and UGC). Thereafter, he was appointed as Assistant Professor in AMU. Prof. Khan has published eight books and about 150 research papers in internationally recognized journals. Prof. Khan contributed to the establishment of Radiation-Processed Polysaccharides (RPPs) as plant growth promoters. His research-collaboration with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai resulted in the development of specific agro-formulation, which would help the farmers to increase the productivity and active constituents of MAPs. He has published his valuable research regarding the effects of RPPs on MAPs in high impact factor journals such as Carbohydrate Polymers, Industrial Crops and Products, etc.
