Aligarh Muslim University

Prof. Nafees A. Khan has contributed immensely to abiotic tolerance mechanisms with a positive shift in the source–sink relationship. Mechanism mainly involved ethylene and its coordination with other major phytohormones-mediated induction of signal transduction and eventual modulation of the ascorbate–glutathione system. His path-breaking R&D contributions in the physio-biochemistry of abiotic stress tolerance strategies led to the publication of several journal articles. Prof. Khan was deemed a highly cited researcher for four consecutive years (2019–2022) and received the Clarivate India Research Excellence Citation Award in 2023. He has edited twenty-one books and served as editor/guest editor of leading publishing platforms. Prof. Khan is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), the Linnean Society, the Indian Society for Plant Physiology, and the Indian Botanical Society.
