Botanical Microbiomes

Dr. Shobhit Raj Vimal did his PhD from Department of Environmental Microbiology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. He has practical experience of research work related to soil-plant-microbe interactions, isolation and identification of stress tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and their application in paddy crop cultivation. He has published papers in international journal of repute such as Pedosphere, Ecological Indicators, Microbiology Research, etc. He is active member of various scientific committees. He received financial support from University Grants Commission (UGC) and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi, India for research work. Dr. Jay Shankar Singh is Faculty at the Department of Environmental Microbiology, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. He is an expert in the area of land use, restoration ecology, and natural resource management. He is also actively serving as member of various scientific committees, holding editorial responsibilities for journals. He has published several articles and books from Springer, Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, among others. Dr. Ashwani Kumar is presently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India and previously worked as Assistant Professor at Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya (Central University), Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India since June 2013. His laboratory of Metagenomics and Secretomics research focuses on harnessing the power of microbiome for plant growth improvement under stress conditions and pesticide remediation
