His research work focuses on selection for novel mutations induced by radiations in pulses, elucidation of physiological and molecular mechanisms in response to radiations, and looking for suitable germplasm donors for breeding purposes. Working on the mutagenesis of plants, Dr. Raina has found a significant role of radiations in the regulation of plant growth and development and has suggested that radiations could play an important role in improving the yield and yield-attributing traits of pulses. Dr. Raina has published more than 15 journal articles and 20 book chapters. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Amit Kumar Singh\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently working as a senior scientist at ICAR - National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, India. He has over 18 years of experience working in the field of plant genomics. His main research focuses on the development of novel genomic resources and trait mapping in cereal and under-utilized crops by applying advanced genomics tools such as transcriptomics and genome-wide association mapping. He has developed a novel promoter-based marker technique, CBDP, which is widely used by researchers worldwide in plant genome analysis. Dr. Singh has published over 60 research publications in various international journals. He is a recipient of the prestigious Endeavour Award from the government of Australia and fellowships from many professional societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Samiullah Khan\u003c\/strong\u003e is currently working as a professor at the Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, Uttar Pradesh, India. Dr. Khan obtained his PhD in 1990 from Aligarh Muslim University, specializing in plant breeding and crop genetics. He has more than 24 years of teaching experience in embryology of angiosperms, and genetics and plant breeding.
