About
I am a food legumes Breeder at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) with 25 years of experience on basic and applied aspects of breeding. Identified extra early photo-thermo insensitive genotypes in chickpea which have been used as donors across the globe. I have been associated in the development of 23 varieties of pulse crops and one variety of rice and identified useful donors for use in breeding program of rice, lentil, chickpea, grasspea, mungbean and urdbean. Published more than 260 articles including 78 research papers in refereed journals, 35 review articles, 52 book chapters, five books, six technical bulletins and two training manuals. Received a number of academic distinctions and awards including Rockefeller Fellowship, Best Scientist Award from IIPR for the year 2005 and 2008, and Best Research Team Award from MULLaRP of ICAR in 2008. My research interests include pre-breeding activities, genetic enhancement through conventional and marker assisted breeding and biometrical genetics.
