He is engaged in active research of molecular biology, plant biotechnology, mutation breeding, and genetic improvement of legumes and medicinal plants. He has published more than 15 international books, 100 research papers, and many review articles and book chapters and has participated in 50 national and international conferences, training programs, and workshops. Dr. Bhat has 20 years of active teaching experience. He is serving as the District Coordinator Anantnag of a prestigious project on medicinal plants under financial assistance of the National Medicinal Plants Board (NMPB), New Delhi (Ministry of AYUSH), India. He is also founder member of Hon'ble CM's Super 50 initiative. He is a life member of several scientific societies and a reviewer for several international scientific journals. The Government of India conferred him with a Best Innovative Science Teacher Award 2014 to recognize his meritorious services. He was conferred with a Sir Syed Gold Medal along with certificate of merit (2022) for outstanding contributions in the field of education and research by the Jammu and Kashmir Alig Society. Abdul Rauf Shakoori, PhD, is a Distinguished National Professor and Professor Emeritus of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Punjab. Professor Shakoori has put in more than 60 years of meritorious service as a teacher and research scientist. He is amongst the pioneers who introduced modern trends in biological sciences and played a key role in the introduction of cellular and molecular biology as a subject of study and research at the universities of Pakistan. His research publications in the domains of bioremediation, bioinsecticides, and herbal medicine have significant implications on the economy of Pakistan. Dr. Shakoori has published over 660 original research articles in journals of international repute and supervised research work of 77 PhD students and 55 MPhil students. He has written 23 books published by national and international publishers. He has also contributed several chapters in a book published by Springer Verlag, Germany. Professor Shakoori developed collaborative research programs with scientists at the University of Massachusetts, Worcester, USA, where he also held a position of Visiting Professor of Cell Biology for more than 25 years. He has received various prestigious awards over the years in various countries. Jameel M. Al-Khayri, PhD, is currently Professor of Plant Biotechnology at the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, College of Agriculture and Food Sciences, King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. He has dedicated his research efforts to date palm biotechnology for the last three decades. He has published over 60 research articles and reviews in international journals, in addition to 30 book chapters. He has served as editor of several special issues of international journals on date palm, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture under abiotic and biotic stress. He is also editor of 15 Springer reference books, including Date Palm Biotechnology, Date Palm Genetic Resources and Utilization (2 volumes), Date Palm Biotechnology Protocols (2 volumes), and Advances in Plant Breeding Strategies (9 volumes). He has been appointed as a member of the editorial boards and review panels of several international journals.
