Abdul Wahid

Prof. Dr. Abdul Wahid is working as Professor from the Department of Botany, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad 38000, Pakistan. He published over 200 refereed journal papers. He completed his Ph.D. in Botany from the Department of Botan, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Environmental stresses are major constraints to the productivity of crops throughout the world. It is therefore imperative that mechanisms and causes of the stress effects on plant growth and development may be determined systematically, and strategies may be adopted to overcome adverse effects of stresses in order to achieve maximum productivity from the salinity, high temperature and drought-hit areas. His current interests are focused on the expression of stress proteins and other stress related primary and secondary metabolites under water, salinity, heat and cadmium stresses, and finding strategies to fetch greater yields under such conditions. He has more than twenty years of teaching/research experience in Botany.
