Dr. Jawahar

Dr. Jawahar is a plant biotechnologist specializing in stress physiology, molecular biology, tissue culture, and metabolic engineering. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying salinity and drought tolerance, particularly the roles of osmolytes, abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, and stress-responsive genes. He has also contributed significantly to enhancing the production of valuable plant secondary metabolites, including colchicine, through in vitro culture and biotechnological approaches. Dr. Jawahar has authored numerous research articles, reviews, and book chapters published in leading journals and international publishers, including PLOS ONE, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Physiologia Plantarum, and Industrial Crops and Products. His research interests include functional genomics, metabolomics, crop improvement, and sustainable agricultural biotechnology.
