An elected fellow of numerous academies, Narendra Tuteja is
currently a senior scientist at ICGEB, New Delhi, India. He has
made significant contributions to crop improvement under adverse
conditions, reporting the first helicase from plant and human cells
and demonstrating new roles of Ku autoantigen, nucleolin and eIF4A
as DNA helicases. Furthermore, he discovered novel functions of
helicases, G-proteins, CBL-CIPK and LecRLK in plant stress
tolerance, and PLC and MAP-kinase as effectors for G proteins.
Narendra Tuteja also reported several high salinity stress tolerant
genes from plants and fungi and developed salt/drought tolerant
plants.
Currently assistant professor at MD University, Rohtak, India,
Sarvajeet Singh Gill has made significant contributions to
abiotic stress tolerance. Together with Narendra Tuteja he worked
on plant helicases and discovered a novel function of plant MCM6 in
salinity stress tolerance that will help improve crop production at
sub-optimal conditions. A recipient of the Junior Scientist of the
Year Award 2008 from the National Environmental Science Academy,
Sarvajeet Gill has edited several books and has a number of
research papers, review articles, and book chapters to his name.
Climate Change and Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance should prove to be an invaluable reference for academic plant biologists as well as agriculturalists and government agencies. (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 2016)
