Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics
Tanwir Ahmad Malik, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Chairman/Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Sustainable production of crops is at risk due to insect pests and disease attack. Similarly, abiotic stresses like drought, heat and cold etc. significantly reduce crop yield. Especially, in the scenario of climate change, management of these stresses by engineering crop plants which may give good yield under stress environments is very important. My research efforts are focused on genetic tolerance of crop plants against biotic (insect pests etc) and abiotic stress using biotechnological tools.

 
Hafeez Ahmad Sadaqat, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Breeding of oilseeds, Brassicas and sunflower, Breeding forage crops, sorghum and sudangrass

 
Farooq Ahmad Khan, Ph.D

Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Breeding oilseed Brassica & Sugarcane for yield and quality

 
Tariq Manzoor Khan, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Environmental stresses are major constraints to the productivity of crops throughout the world. It is therefore imperative that mechanisms and causes of the stress effects on plant growth and development may be determined systematically, and strategies may be adopted to overcome adverse effects of stresses in order to achieve maximum productivity from the salinity, high temperature and drought-hit areas. My current interests are focused on the expression of stress proteins and other stress related primary and secondary metabolites under water, salinity, heat and cadmium stresses, and finding strategies to fetch greater yields under such conditions. Among various crops, major emphasis is on wheat, barley, rice, sugarcane and maize.

 
Muhammad Ahsan, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: 1. Integration of biotechnology and conventional techniques for crop improvement 2. Evaluation of maize inbred lines for drought tolerance 3. Development of drought tolerant doubled haploid maize inbred lines (100% genetically pure) through genetic induction and anther culture techniques. 4. Development of drought tolerant doubled haploid early maturing and high yielding maize hybrids.

Muhammad Aslam, Ph.D

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Member of research group “Maize and pulses” of the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Development of inbred lines and maintenance of elite germplasm of maize with a high degree of genetic diversity for population improvement, identification and evaluation of maize germplasm with quality attributes for the development of hybrids of industrial importance, study of drought tolerance based diversity among maize accessions at molecular level. Molecular marker study for wilt resistance in chickpea, use of molecular, physiological and biochemical markers in the study of biotic and abiotic stresses in pulses.

Amir Bibi, Ph.D

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture

Research Intersts: Plant breeding is the science and business of crop improvement. It is an innovation based sector, focused on developing plants better adapted to the environment and to human needs. I am handling two Farm & Research Projects, for production of surplus green fodder as well as seed in berseem, oats, sorghum and maize. Additionally, I am working on development of multicut, Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrid plants having better nutritional quality (particularly protein contents) to satisfy the degree of hunger in livestock during extreme summers. I am also working on development of fodder crops, which can successfully cope the climate-resilient factors (abiotic and biotic) and could provide more benefits with minimum application of inputs (fertilizer, irrigation, weedicides/pesticides). As, Today’s Plant Breeding is more than just producing varieties of crops/seeds. That’s why, I am focusing on different issues related to genetic conservation, crop production, farm management, and profitability keeping in view the market conditions.
