tant Professor at SKUAST-Jammu, Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah Univer-
sity (BGSB) in India. He has also worked as a Scientist at Advanta India
Limited, Hyderabad, India, and TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute),
New Delhi, India. Dr. Zargar has received several awards for his work and
research. His editorial activities and scientific membership include publishing
research and review articles in international journals and as a reviewer. He
has been affiliated with the Journal of Phytology, the Australian Journal of
Crop Sciences, the African Journal of Biotechnology, Scientia Horticulture,
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutri-
tion, and many others. Dr. Zargar has been invited to give many lectures at
professional meetings and workshops and has received grants for research
projects under his supervision.
Vandna Rai, PhD
Vandna Rai, Ph.D, is currently a Senior Scientist at the National Research
Centre on Plant Biotechnology, IARI, in New Delhi, India. She was previ-
ously a Senior Scientist at the Directorate of Rice Research in Hyderabad,
India. She has received awards, such as from the International Union for
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) at Kyoto, Japan, and has
received travel grants for attendance at American Society for Plant Biology
(ASPB) meetings. Dr. Rai is involved in teaching courses at postgraduate
levels. With over 16 years of active research experience working the area
of plant biochemistry, molecular biology, and genomics, she has published
research articles in peer-reviewed journals and has written several book
chapters. Dr. Rai has mapped several important genes and QTLs for abiotic
stress tolerance in rice and has been involved in proteome profiling of rice
and pigeonpea to find salt stress tolerant genes and proteins.
