“In the hidden realm beneath our feet, a complex network of interactions unfolds between plant roots and the surrounding soil”. The rhizosphere is a zone of intense biological and chemical activity, which plays a critical role in shaping plant growth, nutrient uptake, and ecosystem functioning. Recent advances in our understanding of root signaling and rhizosphere engineering have revealed... Read more

Biography

Dr. Piyush Mathur is presently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. He has been teaching for the past 6 years and has taught both at the undergraduate and post graduate level. He has done his Ph.D. in Botany with a specialization in Mycology and Plant Pathology from Delhi University. Presently, he is supervising four Ph. D. research scholars who are working on microbial diversity, bioprospecting, and plant disease management. He has published quite a number of articles papers in well-known international journals of good repute. He has also contributed articles as book chapters in International and National books. He is serving as an member of editorial board of BMC Plant Biology (Taylor and Francis).  He has previously edited three books with springer and is working on other books too. Dr. Mathur is an active member of the Society of Rapeseed Mustard Research (SRMR), Bharatpur, and Delhi University Botanical Society (DUBS) Delhi, India and India Phytopathological Society, New Delhi, India
