M Iqbal R KhanM. Iqbal R. Khan is an Assistant Professor of Botany at Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. His current research interests are elucidation physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Dr. Khan has found a sinificant role of phytohormones in the regulation of plant growth and development, have suggested that phytohormones play an important in controlling stress responses, and interacts in coordination with each other for defense signal networking to fine tune tolerance mechanisms. He is also exploring the regulatory role of other plant signalling molecules and their impact on plant homeostasis especially source-sink relationship under abiotic stresses.
Dr. Khan has published more than 50 journal articles, 08 book chapters and has edited five books. He has been recognized as Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award, The National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), Young Scientist of the Year, Indian Society of Plant Physiology and Scientific and Environmental Research Institute, India and Junior Scientist of the Year from National Environmental Science Academy New Delhi, India. Additionally, he is Associate Editor- Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, and 3Biotech. Read More Read Less
