About the editors
Dr Amolkumar U. Solanke is Senior Scientist, at ICAR - National Institute of Plant Biotechnology, New Delhi. Dr. Solanke has done his PhD in Plant Molecular Biology from Delhi University South Campus, New Delhi and later joined Indian Council of Agricultural Research, India as Scientist. His research interest is functional genomics for biotic and abiotic stress management in crop plants especially, rice and finger millet. He was also a part of tomato and cluster bean genome sequencing projects. He has published more than 70 papers in this field in peer reviewed journals, besides 15 book chapters. He is executing a few funded research projects on finger millet and guiding MSc, PhD and post-doctoral students. He is an expert reviewer in the area of genomics and plant molecular biology for several journals of repute.
Dr Amitha Mithra Sevanthi is Senior Scientist at ICAR-National Institute of Plant Biotechnology, New Delhi. She has done her doctorate in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. She is working in the area of genomicsfor develo** molecular markers, whole genome sequencing of major crop plants and identification/map** of genes for abiotic stress tolerance and their characterization and use of EMS induced mutants for identification of novel genes and alleles with focus in rice as well as pigeonpea and cluster bean. She has published more than 50 research papers in peer reviewed journals, contributed to seven book chapters and is a supervisor for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. She is an expert reviewer in the area of molecular map**, DNA marker development and applications and genomics in several international journals of repute.
Dr P. Rajendrakumar is Principal Scientist at ICAR-Indian Institute of Millets Research, Hyderabad. He has a Doctorate degree in Plant Breeding and Genetics from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. He has developed SSR markers in coffee, rice, and safflower. His research focus is on development of DNA markers in millets, whole genome sequencing, marker-trait associations for grain quality and molecular breeding for genotypes suitable for lignocellulosic biofuel production in sorghum. He has published more than 30 research papers in peer-reviewed journals, a book and 10 book chapters. He is also an expert reviewer for journals like Frontiers in Genetics, PLoS One and Crop Science.
