Tariq Ahmad Bhat, PhD, is serving as lecturer on botany in the Department of Education, Govt. of Jammu and Kashmir, India. He has teaching experience of 16 years. He is engaged in active research of molecular biology, cell biology, mutation breeding, and genetic improvement of legumes and medicinal plants. He has published five international books and over 100 research papers, review articles, and book chapters. Dr. Bhat has participated in 50 conferences and workshops. He is a life member of many scientific bodies across the world. He received a Best Innovative Science Teacher Award in 2014 from the Govt. of India to recognize his meritorious and outstanding performance in the field of teaching and research. Dr. Bhat received his MSc and PhD from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India.Khalid Rehman Hakeem, PhD, is Professor at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After completing his doctorate (botany, specialization in plant eco-physiology and molecular biology) from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India; and at Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia, where he was a Post doctorate Fellow and Fellow Researcher (Associate Professor) for several years. Dr. Hakeem has more than 10 years of teaching and research experience in plant eco-physiology, biotechnology and molecular biology, medicinal plant research, plant-microbe-soil interactions, as well as in environmental studies. He is the recipient of several fellowships at both national and international levels. He has served as a visiting scientist at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. Currently, he is involved with several international research projects with various government organizations. To date, Dr. Hakeem has authored and edited more than 60 books with international publishers. He also has to his credit more than 115 research publications in peer-reviewed international journals and 55 book chapters in edited volumes. At present, Dr. Hakeem serves as an editorial board member and reviewer for several high-impact international scientific journals. He is included in the advisory board of Cambridge Scholars Publishing, UK. He is also a fellow of the Plantae Group of the American Society of Plant Biologists, member of the World Academy of Sciences, member of the International Society for Development and Sustainability, Japan, and member of the Asian Federation of Biotechnology, Korea.
