Dr. Debjyoti Sen Gupta was the ICAR International Fellow and received his Ph.D. at North Dakota State University (NDSU), Fargo, USA. He is currently serving as Scientist (Sr. scale) in the ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR). He has authored several research articles, review articles and book chapters in the peer-reviewed journals and books from Springer, CABI, Elsevier among others. He is also the co-editor of "Legumes in the Omic Era", published by Springer in 2014. Dr Sanjeev Gupta is a Principal Scientist/Project Coordinator on Vigna Crops at ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR), Kanpur. He has more than two decades of research experience in grain legume breeding and developed a number of high yielding cultivars in grain legumes. He has authored numerous research papers published in peer-reviewed journals and edited several books in plant breeding aspects, including "Legumes in the Omic Era" with Dr. Debjyoti Sen Gupta, which was published by Springer in 2014. Dr. Jitendra Kumar is presently working as Principal Scientist at ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR), Kanpur. He has more than 12 years research experience in genetic improvement using both conventional and molecular marker assisted breeding approaches on various crops including medicinal and aromatic, cereal and pulse crops. His current priorities include involvement of molecular marker technology in conventional lentil breeding programme for making genetic improvement towards the biotic and abiotic stresses.  He has over 110 publications and has co-edited four books, including “Alien Gene Transfer in Crop Plants, Vol 1 and 2” and Phenomics in Crop Plants: Trends, Options and Limitations published by Springer.
