Autorenporträt
Dr. P. K. Chakrabarty has served ICAR in various capacities as Scientist (Plant Pathology), Principal Scientist (Biotechnology) and Head, Division of Crop Improvement at the Central Institute for Cotton Research (CICR) Nagpur, before joining ICAR, Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi, as Assistant Director General (Plant Protection & Biosafety). He extensively studied and did pioneering research on general and molecular Plant pathology with special reference to host-pathogen interaction, signal transduction for resistance signalling, functional genomics of pathogenicity genes, molecular diagnostics and transgenic research. He did his post-doctoral research at the University of Florida, Gainesville and at the University of Missouri-Columbia in Columbia, USA. He is also an adjunct faculty of UF, Gainesville. He visited several countries including Australia, UK, Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Switzerland, Netherlands, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Nepal, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Bangladesh etc., representing National and international causes on Plant protection and biosafety. Besides his assignments as ADG plant protection in ICAR, he was the nodal officer on GM Biosafety and Biosecurity; member of the CIBRC, Ministry of Agriculture; Member of RCGM, DBT; Chairman of technical committee of Central Sector scheme on Monitoring pesticide residue at National level, DAC, MOA; Member, Task force (Agricultural Biotechnology), DBT; Member Task Force DRDO, MEA; Chairman, Board of Institute of Pesticides Formulation Technology, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, GOI; Member of Governing Body and Executive body of NIPHM, Hyderabad, etc. With his direct association with four National Plant Protection Institutes of ICAR and seven All India coordinated research projects on plant protection, as ADG (PP) besides policy makers in the Ministry of Agriculture he has been associated with development of policies and guidelines for enabling and ensuring Crop biosecurity. Since April, 2019, he is working as Member (Plant Sciences), ASRB, New Delhi in the Ministry of Agri. & Farmers Welfare, GOI, New Delhi. He was President of Indian Society of Mycology & Plant Pathology for two consecutive years from 2018-19 to 2019-20 and also of Indian Phytopathological Society during 2020-21. He is a Fellow of NAAS, New Delhi, besides several other Professional Scientific Societies. Dr. Kalyan K Mondal received both BSc (Ag) Hons and MSc (Ag) Plant Pathology from the Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswa Vidyalaya, West Bengal in 1991 and 1993, respectively. He obtained his doctoral degree in Plant Pathology from ICAR-IARI, New Delhi in 1999. After a stint (2001-2006) as Scientist at CSKHPKV, Palampur, Dr. Mondal joined Div. of Plant Pathology, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi as Senior Scientist (2006-2012) and presently as Principal Scientist (since Dec, 2012). He was trained from Stanford University, California, USA as a visiting scholar to have insight into the role of bacterial Type-3-Secretion-System (T3SS) effectors in the modulation of plant defense. He deciphered for the first-time effector repertoire of two important bacterial pathogens, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and X. axonopodis pv. punicae (Xap) infecting rice and pomegranate, respectively. He functionally demonstrated the role of crucial effectors of both the pathogens during disease development in respective crops; He generated full genome sequence of Xoo race 4, a virulent population from India; developed and commercialized blight resistance rice varieties against race 4, namely Pusa 1592, Pusa 1718 and Pusa 1728 having R- genes xa13 and Xa21. Dr. Mondal became the Fellow of IPS (2013), SARP (2020) and member of The National Academy of Sciences India (2013); He is the recipient of many prestigious awards including Prof MK Patel Memorial Young Scientist Award (2008); Prof MJ Narasimhan Academic Merit Award (2001), Prof. JP Verma Memorial Award (2016) from Indian Phytopathological Society, New Delhi. He serves as a guest reviewer for journals of international repute including BMC Microbiology, Plant Disease, Frontiers of Microbiology, MPMI, Microbial Pathogenesis, Scientific Reports, PMPP, Plant Pathology. He served as a member of important academic and research committees including Task Force DBT (Agricultural Biotechnology), Project Reviewer DST-SERB, Member IMC, ICAR-NBAIM (2016-2019); Editor (2017-2019) for Indian Phytopathology and presently Jt. Secretary of Indian Phytopathological Society. He published >50 research papers in journals of international repute and authored a very popular text book "Plant Bacteriology" published by Kalyani publishers. He has delivered lead talks, guest lectures in international conferences across the world including Philippines, Vietnam, China, Thailand and USA. Dr. M. S. Saharan did his PhD in Plant pathology (Gold Medalist) from CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana. He is presently Head, Division of Plant Pathology, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Earlier till 2016, he served in different capacities like Scientist, Senior Scientist, Principal Scientist and Principal Investigator, Crop Protection at ICAR-IIWBR, Karnal. He contributed significantly in Wheat Pathology research and actively participated in strategy implemenation for managing wheat rusts and Karnal bunt in main wheat belt of the country. He characterized Fusarium spp. causing head scab of wheat. He was also associated in draft genome sequencing of Tilletia indica and Bipolaris sorokiniana, two major pathogens of wheat He has rich experience on genetics of resistance and management aspects of plant diseases. He contributed significantly in the development and release of 16 wheat varieties in the country besides registering 23 wheat genetic stocks for rusts, Karnal bunt, head scab and spot blotch resistance. He worked in many international collaborative research projects viz., ISCB, ACIAR, CIMMYT, BBSRC etc. He is widely travelled scientist and visited Mexico, Switzerland, Russia, Japan, China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Kenya, Turkey, Malaysia, Australia, Italy and USA for participating and presenting invited talks in international conferences. He is recipient of prestigious BGRI Gene Stewardship Award and is also a Fellow of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, New Delhi besides Indian Phytopathological Society, New Delhi and Society for Advancement of Wheat & Barley Research, Karnal.
