Position & Department: Chairman/Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture
Research Intersts: My research interests include studies on the biology, epidemiology and management of bacterial diseases of plant especially citrus canker, blackleg of potato and bacterial blight of rice. Furthermore I am interested in research on exploring the biochemical basis of resistance in plant against diseases
Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture
Research Intersts: Molecular Phytopathology, Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, Molecular Basis of Biocontrol, Plant Nematology, Plant Breeding and Genetics
Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture
Research Intersts: Biological management of plant parasitic nematodes
Research Intersts: Mushrooms are rice source of proteins and proteins are the part of nutrients which are very important of growth of body because it play very vital role to build up the damage body parts for its repairement. Malnutrition is a great problem in developing countries like Pakistan. Its economy is mainly dependent on agriculture. My current focus is to provide sufficient mushroom food to people and to alleviate poverty from our country as edible fungi are natural recycler which converts lignocelluloses wastes into protein rich health food.
Research Intersts: Molecular characterization of plant pathogens
Research Intersts: Fungal diseases their diagnosis, etiology and integrated management especially, the diseases of perennial evergreen ornamental flora of Pakistan. I have established fungal molecular biology laboratory in Department of Plant Pathology, UAF to conduct research on mycological problems of ornamental plant in Pakistan and identification of plant pathogenic fungi at molecular level and their interactions with other plant pathogens like Nematodes, bacteria and viruses.
Research Intersts: Detection and identification of mycoflora associated with seed of economically important crops. Extraction of different mycotoxins from freshly harvested and stored grains. We are mainly focusing on development of safe seed storage house and management strategies to overcome seed borne and post-harvest problems through integrated approaches.
Research Intersts: My current interests are focused on pre and post-harvest problems of mango with special reference to mango sudden death syndrome and mango stem and rot, a post-harvest disease in mango. For this I am interested in isolation, characterization of the causal agents of these problems and finding of some resistance sources against these problems for the management of these mango diseases
Research Intersts: To analyze drought and heat tolerance conferred by fungal and viral endophytes in commercial crops; and to assess the losses caused by plant viruses, epidemiological studies, role of insects in virus transmission and integrated plant viral disease management.
Research Intersts: Molecular Phytopathology, Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, Molecular Basis of Biocontrol, Protein Expression and Purification, Plant Breeding and Genetics
Research Intersts: Molecular Plant Pathology, Plant-Phytophthora Interactions, Protein Expression and Purification, Plant Breeding and Genetics, Plant Biotechnology, Plant disease etiology
