Dr. Rupesh Deshmukh is working as Ramalingaswami Fellow, at National Agri-food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, Punjab, India. Earlier he was visiting professor at Laval University in Quebec, Canada. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Agriculture Biotechnology at SRTMU, Nanded, India. He went to Quebec, Canada for his postdoc. He did another postdoc at Missouri University, USA. His interest spans diverse fields in plant science covering computational biology, gene identification through approaches like QTL mapping and GWAS, and elucidation of the molecular mechanism through the integration of omics approaches. His research group is exploring genomics and genome editing approaches to improve the nutritional quality of rice. He has published five books and more than a hundred articles in reputed journals. He is a member of many academic societies and served as an editorial board member and guest editor.

Dr. Altafhusain Nadaf is working as a Professor at the Department of Botany, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune; in the area of biochemistry and molecular genetics of aromatic rice for the past 18 years. He was awarded Erasmus Mundus Action 2 India4EU II scholarship to visit the University of Bologna, Italy as a visiting professor and DST-BOYSCAST Fellowship to work as a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics, Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia for one year. He has in his credit four books and more than 50 research papers published in peer-reviewed national and international journals of repute. His research interests are biochemistry and molecular genetics of rice aroma volatiles. He has characterized scented rice varieties of India and other plant species containing rice aroma volatiles following the HS-SPME-GC-MS/FID approach. Moreover, the aroma enhancement and induction of aroma character have been achieved in his laboratory through transgenic approaches.
