Mohammad Irfan

PeerJ Editor, Author & Reviewer

Summary

Dr. Mohammad Irfan is a plant biologist having research interests in abiotic stress biology of crop plants particularly horticultural crops. During his doctoral and postdoctoral projects, he studied the fruit quality traits affected by abiotic stresses. In his current projects, he investigates the molecular mechanism underlying plant-specialized metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of high-value phytochemicals, such as anthocyanins and carotenoids of horticultural crops under abiotic stresses using transcriptomics, metabolomics, glycomic and functional genomic approaches.
