Autorenporträt

Dr. hab. Sylwia Okö is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Genetics, Breeding and Plant Biotechnology, Faculty of Agrobioengineering at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. She has twelve years of teaching and fifteen years of research experience. Her main research interests focus on the interactions between the host plant and the pathogen and increasing plant resistance to fungal pathogens. She is also involved in research in the field of genetic differentiation of fungal pathogens causing plant diseases, and their identification and classification. She conducts research related to phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses. She cooperates with University of Sydney (Australia), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USA), Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (Germany), Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) (Germany). Dr. hab. Sylwia Okö is the co-author of more than 60 scientific papers, she participated in numerous scientific conferences. Dr. Beata Zimowska is Associate Professor at Department of Plant Pathology, Subdepartment Phytopathology and Mycology, Faculty of Horticulture and Land Scape, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland. She has published more than 70 research publications, 30 popular articles in Polish and foreign. She is a member of several scientific societies. She has been awarded several awards: grade I team from HM Rector the Academy of Agriculture in Lublin - 2000, grade II team from HM Rector the University of Life Sciences in Lublin - 2009, individual grade I from HM Rector the University of Life Sciences for scientific activity in the years 2010-2012-2014, individual grade II from HM Rector the University of Life Sciences for scientific activity in the years 2014-2016-2017. She was co-organizer and member of Scientific Board 1st Eurasian Mycological Congress 3-5.07.2016, Manisa, Turkey and XIII Congress of Ecology and Environment with International Participation 12-15.09.2017, Edirne, Turkey. She serves as a referee for 15 international journals and is a member of the editorial board of 2 national and international journals. Since 2014 she has been cooperating with Bulgarian Institute of Genetics in Sofia, since 2015 with Department of Agriculture, University of Naples Federico II, Portici and Institute for Sustainable Plant Protection (IPSP)/National Research Council (CNR) Portici, Italy, since 2015 with Department of Biology Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey. Her research activities are aimed at: Phoma sensu lato group of fungi, endophytic fungi, fungal symbiont and their relationships with gall midges, mutualistic interactions between the gall causing species of dipterans from Asphondylia genus (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) and on fungi developing in the inner wall of galls, etiology and epidemiology of infectious diseases of MAPs (medicinal and aromatic plants), with special regards of new and emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). Dr. Mahendra Rai is presently a visiting Professor at the Department of Microbiology, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland. Formerly he was Professor and Head of the Department of Biotechnology, SGB Amravati University, Maharashtra State, India. He was a visiting scientist at the University of Geneva, Debrecen University, Hungary; University of Campinas, Brazil; VSB Technical University of Ostrava, Czech Republic, National University of Rosario, Argentina, and the University of Sao Paulo. He has published more than 425 research papers in national and international journals, with 81 h-index. In addition, he has edited/authored more than 70 books and 6 patents. Recently, he has been featured in Stanford's list of the top 2% of scientists in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
