Dr Zeba Khan is presently engaged in academic teaching in Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. She obtained her master's and Ph. D degree from Aligarh Muslim University. Her professional journey started with working as a Senior Project Officer in National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, India. She also worked as Post doctoral Research Associate under DST-PURSE funded Project in Aligarh Muslim University. During her postdoctoral tenure she extensively studied the role of nanoparticles on plants and their genotoxical impacts on plant ecology. Her specific research aims in understanding the role of various physical and chemical agents that are responsible for induced genotoxicity and stress in plants as a response to change in environment and in a way utilization of Genetics and molecular techniques to improve yield and quality of agronomically important crops. During her post master's tenure,she has worked on mutation breeding in Chicory which is an important medicinal herb. She has published a number of research papers, review articles, invited chapters in peer reviewed journals and presented papers in various national and international conferences, seminars and symposiums. She has been accoladed by various scientific organisations for her outstanding performance in research and has received young scientist and environmentalist of the year award by IFCEE and has also been awarded Certificate of appreciation Award by SNA Rural Urban Welfare Society. She is an active member of various national and international scientific organizations. Dr. Mohd. Yunus Khalil Ansari worked as professor in the Department of Botany, A.M.U. Aligarh and retired as chairperson on 20.08.2018. He has been associated with the teaching in cytogenetics and molecular biology. His research area is cytogenetics, mutation breeding and biotechnology. He produced several important mutants in more than thirty plants. He has been actively involved in research and published around seventy scientific research articles in reputed national and international journals and was coauthor of three books. He attended many national and international conferences/symposia and workshop. Professor Ansari has produced 15 Ph.D's and 7 M.Phil Students. He was co-principal investigator in Department of biotechnology sponsored project "in vitro propagation of Pterocarpus sp. and Saraca sp." and worked as co-investigator in a project sponsored by Ministry of Environment and Forest on the preserving 30 endangered plants.
