Azamal Husen is a scholar with over two decades of experience in botanical sciences, nanobiotechnology, plant physiology, environmental botany, medicinal plants, and clonal propagation. He previously served as a Full Professor and Head of the Department of Biology at the University of Gondar, Ethiopia, and is currently a foreign delegate at Wolaita Sodo University, Ethiopia, as well as an Adjunct Professor at Graphic Era University, India. He has also held senior academic roles at Sankalchand Patel University, the Forest Research Institute, and Doon College of Agriculture and Forest in Dehradun, India. Prof. Husen’s research has been supported by major organizations including the World Bank, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. He has contributed extensively to curriculum development, faculty training, and international conferences. A prolific author and editor, he has been recognized among Stanford University’s World’s Top 2% Scientists since 2020 and honored by the University of Gondar for his outstanding service. Professor Wenying Zhang earned his MSc from Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, and PhD from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He has served the Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China, as a Full Professor of Crop Science, and also worked as the vice dean of School of Agriculture, Director of Research Center of Crop Stress Resistance Technologies, Yangtze University. He was a visiting scientist of the Institute of Crop Genetics and Breeding of University of Kiel, Germany. He has more than 20 years’ experience of teaching, research, and administration. Dr. Zhang’s research focuses on the genomic function analysis and abiotic stresses such as waterlogging, drought, salt in crops. He has hosted dozens of research projects sponsored by various funding institutions, including National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Key R&D Program of China. He has published over 60 research papers, review articles in international peer reviewed journals. Dr Zhang received more than twenty Achievement Prizes from the provincial government and/or Yangtze University of China, for excellent teaching, research. Dr Zhang acts as the editorial board member of journal of Plant Growth and Regulation.
