Dr. Hakeem is currently working as Post doc Research Scientist at Faculty of Forestry, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. Dr. Khalid has so far edited more than seven books with Springer and other European publishers. He has also to his credit more than 30 publications in various national and international journals. Dr. Rehman is currently working as an Assistant Professor, Department of Bioresources, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India. Recipient of several fellowships at both national and international level, particularly, the award of the Marie Curie IIF project (MC-IIF-FP7-219339). He has worked on agronomical, physiological and biochemical aspects of mineral nutrition in mustard, which is relevant to economical aspect in terms of crop productivity. He managed the in vitro regeneration and propagation of several important medicinal plants followed by the genetic transformation of medicinal plants with stress related genes. He has to his credit one published book and 22 publications in various national and international journals. Dr. Tahir is currently working as the Professor, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India. He has done extensive work pertaining to physiological studies on buckwheats in Kashmir. He has also been actively perusing the research on flower senescence and post harvest physiology of the ornamentals. He has published more than 60 papers in various national and international journals.
