Author Information

Dr Parvaiz Ahmad, Department of Botany, S.P. College, University of Kashmir, India Dr Ahmad is currently Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany where he teaches on stress physiology and molecular biology. Previous to this he taught at GDC (Boys) Anantnag, Kashmir, India, until May 2013. He has been working on environmental stress in plants since 2001, and his areas of expertise include plant molecular biology (abiotic stress responses in plants (physio-biochemical responses and enzyme activity during stress), developing abiotic tolerant plants), plant microbe interaction (crop improvement through AMF), plant tissue culture, and stress physiology. Dr Ahmad is on the Editorial boards of Botany Research International and Journal of Phytologym, and he is a reviewer on sixteen other international journals including Physiologia Plantarum (Wiley-Blackwell). He has contributed chapters to 26 books and co-edited 14 volumes with Springer, Elsevier and Wiley.
