Plant Stress Mitigators

Mansour Ghorbanpour obtained his MSc and PhD degrees in Crop Ecology from Tehran University (Karaj, Iran) and has been a visiting scholar in the Nutrient Uptake and Toxicity Stress (NUTS) group at the University of Western Australia (Perth, Australia). He specializes in the production and domestication of medicinal and aromatic plants. His research interests include medicinal plants and their bioactive ingredients in stressful environments; the discovery and development of new therapeutic plants and products; phyto-nanotechnology; the bioavailability of emerging contaminants in plant–soil systems; agricultural practices and techniques for increasing plant primary and secondary metabolites; and the diversity of natural products and bioactive compounds of aromatic medicinal plants, among others. A prolific author, Dr. Ghorbanpour was listed among the top 2% of scientists in the world for three consecutive years (2019–2021) by Stanford University. Dr. Muhammad Adnan Shahid is a faculty member at the Horticultural Sciences Department, University of Florida/IFAS, North Florida Research and Education Center. Dr. Shahid has also worked at Cornell University and University of Florida, as post-doc and research scientist, respectively. His areas of expertise include plant physiology and biochemistry, nutrient and water management, plant growth regulators, abiotic stresses, and hydroponic/aeroponic systems. Dr. Shahid has published research articles in peer reviewed journals and seven book chapters. He is also serving a reviewer of various scientific journals and serves as co-chair for Northeast Greenhouse of Conference, USA. It is the association of scientist and growers in New England region in USA.
