and participated in many projects funded by national and international organizations. He supervised and co-supervised MSC, PhD and postdoc candidates from various countries. He has over 120 publications in the WOS database. He has co-edited 6 books and written over 14 book chapters on important aspects of molecular genetics in relation to plant species. He has an extensive array of citations with over 3800 times as per google scholar with an h-Index of 32. Dr. Faheem serves as Editorial board member of several impacted journals in WOS.

Muhammad Azhar Nadeem, working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Plant Production and Technologies, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Sivas University of Science and Technology, Türkiye has documented great skills and expertise in crop science, plant genomics, and molecular plant breeding. Dr. Nadeem has been actively engaged in research activities involving the assessment of genetic diversity, population structure and performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for the identification of genomic regions associated with the traits of interest. He is actively involved in the molecular breeding of some cereals and legumes and the identified genomic regions through GWAS that will be helpful for the future marker-assisted breeding of cereals and legumes. Dr. Nadeem has a good number of research publications and served as co-editor of 2 published books.

Ndiko Ludidi is a Professor of Biotechnology at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. He is an established researcher (NRF rating of C2, until Dec. 2025) with expertise in plant molecular biology, plant physiology and biochemistry. He has extensive university-level teaching experience in biochemistry, plant biotechnology and plant physiology. His research interests are in plant- environment interactions, with focus on abiotic and biotic stress in crop plants. The abiotic aspects of his research relate to physiological and molecular effects of drought, heat and salinity stress on plants. The biotic aspects of his research concern the influence of microbial diversity on crops tolerance to the abiotic stresses.
