Theory and Practice

Aamir Raina is currently working as Assistant Professor in Department of Botany, at Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. Dr. Raina obtained his Masters in Botany in 2013 with specialization in Genetics and Plant Breeding from the University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Dr. Raina earned the Degree of Doctorate in 2018 for his research work on “Induced Mutagenesis in Cowpea” from the Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. His current research interests are the selection for novel mutations induced by mutagens in pulses, medicinal and aromatic plants and elucidation of physiological and molecular mechanisms in response to mutagens and looking for suitable germplasm donors for breeding purpose. Working on the mutagenesis of plants, Dr. Raina has found a significant role of mutagens in the regulation of plant growth and development and have suggested that mutagens could play an important role in improving the yield and yield attributing traits of crops. Recognizing the contribution of Dr. Raina in the field of mutation breeding, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna, Austria appointed Dr. Raina as Technical Corporation Expert and Lecturer to conduct National level mutation breeding training in Sudan. The successful conduct of Dr. Raina in different IAEA projects as an expert supported his research in mutation breeding of crops and proved his ability to work in a multicultural environment. Considering all his achievements and outstanding contributions in the field of Plant Science, he has been conferred with various research fellowships including CSIR JRF, DBT-SRF, GATE, ICAR NET, JKSET and Nuffic OKP (received from Dutch Ministry of foreign Affairs, The Netherlands) and awards including National Environmental Science Academy (NESA) Young scientist and Bharat Vikas Award. He has been recognized as Young Scientist of the Year 2018, receiving the award from President of NESA, India. Dr. Raina has published more than 40 journal articles and 25 book chapters. Dr. Raina has edited special issues on research topic entitled “Legume Breeding in Transition: Innovation and Outlook” in Frontiers in Genetics and “Emerging Talents in Horticulture Breeding and Genetics 2022” in Frontiers in Horticulture. He is among the editorial board members of many scientific journals such as Frontiers in Plant Science, Frontiers in Genetics, Scientific Reports, PLOS One, and BMC Plant Biology. Dr. Raina has participated and presented several research papers in different national and international conferences. Dr. Raina has also attended many workshops, trainings, and short courses under scholarships from national and international funding agencies.
