Saddam Hussain

Summary

Dr. Saddam Hussain is working as Associate Professor in the area of Plant Stress Physiology at the Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. He has been recognized with several international distinctions/awards in recent years. He published over 150 refereed journal papers, many of which have sought to understand the morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular basis of crop responses to individual and concurrent abiotic stresses and mechanisms imparting tolerance for such stresses. He devised promising strategies for improving the crop performance under sub-optimum conditions (salinity, drought, submergence, temperature extremes, metal toxicity) and suggested various novel indicators for augmenting stress tolerance in plants. Currently, he is working as Editor/Editorial board member of various international journals including Journal of Advanced Research (Q1, Elsevier), Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety (Q1, Elsevier), Journal of Plant Growth Regulation (Q1, Springer), Food and Energy Security (Q1, Wiley), Crop Science (Q1, Wiley), BMC Plant Biology (Q1, Springer), PLOS One (Q1, USA), Plants (Q1, MDPI), Sustainability (MDPI), International Journal of Agronomy (Hindawi), Applied Environmental and Soil Science (Hindawi), Frontiers in Agronomy, Frontiers in Soil Science, Plant Science Today, and Planta Daninha.
