Biography

Dr. Muhammad Waseem is Associate Professor/Researcher at College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry, Hainan University, Haikou, Hainan, China. He received a doctoral degree (Ph.D., specialization in Plant Molecular Biology) from the School of Life Sciences, Chongqing University, Chongqing, PR China. He has five years of research experience including postdoctoral. His interests include transcriptional regulation of flowering time regulation, fruit ripening and development, and abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought. In addition, he has hands-on experience in next-generation sequencing data analysis, transcriptomics, and data visualization. Currently, Dr. Waseem is actively in investigating flowering time regulation in Brassica crops. He has been awarded with a National Science Foundation Project, RFIS-I in 2023. In brief, he has published more than 58 research articles, 5 review articles, and 9 book chapters in various high-impact factor publications including New Phytologist, International Journal of Macromolecules, Planta, GM Crops & Food, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Physiologia Plantarum, and Frontiers in Plant Science. He has also edited books with Springer publisher.
