Biography

Dr. Mohammed did his Ph. D. in Biotechnology in 2011 he has good academic record and published scientific papers in well reputed peer reviewed journals. He had been worked on developing new improved varieties of crop plants that are resistant to biotic and abiotic stress. He was developed transgenic Brassica juncea L. that showed enhanced sulphur uptake and can be grown profitably in the areas in India where sulphur deficiency are more prevalent. In addition to this, he standardised high efficiency regeneration protocol for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L cv. HS6) which is very challenging because most of the previously established protocol are for only cocker variety that is no longer cultivated now. He had also done some pioneering experiments in establishing nanoparticle mediated plant transformation system. Currently he is working on silencing viral genes of Cotton leaf curl virus disease (CLCuVD).
