Asim Masood

Aligarh Muslim University

Dr. Asim Masood has unveiled major insights into abiotic stress (metals, salt, and temperature) impacts and underlying physiological/ biochemical mechanisms in crop plants. He received a Start-Up Career Grant from the University Grants Commission, New Delhi, India, and DST-SERB Young Scientist Project from the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi, India. His research interests include the involvement of ethylene in sulfur-mediated alleviation of cadmium, ethylene-mediated regulation of photosynthesis as a result of reduced glucose sensitivity, ethylene-mediated modulation of gibberellic acid-induced sulfur-assimilation under cadmium stress, and ethylene-mediated reversal of salinity impacts involving ethylene-abscisic acid coordination. Dr. Masood has more than sixty research papers to his credit.
