Atta ur Rahman

About

Atta-Ur-Rahman completed his Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in Botany at Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan. His research expertise spans Molecular Plant Physiology, Plant Stress Physiology, Functional Genomics, Root Biology, and Plant–Microbe Interactions. His research integrates physiological, biochemical, molecular, and transcriptomic approaches to understand how plants perceive, respond to, and adapt to environmental stresses. His research focuses particularly on the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying plant stress tolerance and root architectural plasticity, with an interest in how plants dynamically reprogram root growth and development in response to heavy metal, salinity, and other abiotic stresses. He investigates stress-responsive signalling pathways, antioxidant defence systems, plant–microbe interactions, and molecular mechanisms regulating root development and plasticity, with the broader goal of improving crop resilience and supporting sustainable agricultural productivity. Alongside his plant stress research, he has experience in phytochemical profiling, metabolite characterization, and the evaluation of biological and pharmacological activities of medicinal plants. By integrating plant physiology with molecular and functional approaches, his work aims to uncover adaptive mechanisms that can contribute to stress-resilient crops and sustainable plant production.
