About the editors
Dr. Shelly Praveen has completed her PhD from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Her research area is nutritional enhancement and development of strategies for biotic stress tolerance. She has experience of more than 27 years of research and teaching. She has elucidated several mechanisms of host virus interaction and successfully demonstrated the management of economically important viral diseases of tomato through transgenic resistance. Her work in developing the efficient plant transformation vectors and tomato transgenics has been licensed to seed industry for large scale testing and moving towards commercialization. She alsoworked on genomics and functional genomics of different group of plant viruses. Her contribution in full length sequencing of papaya ring spot virus from India has helped in developing virus based resistance strategy. She has published more than 85 research papers in peer reviewed journals with several books, book chapters, popular article, bulletins and technical manuals. She has guided 7 M.Sc. and 10 PhD students in diverse areas of biotic stress tolerance. She has experience of handling more than 12 externally funded projects and currently she is leading a very prestigious networking project of ICAR under Niche Area of Excellence for improving the shelf-life of pearl millet flour. Her research contributions are reflected very well through various prestigious awards like Panjabrao Deshmukh Outstanding Woman Scientist Award 2019, Bharat Ratna Dr C. Subramaniam Award for Outstanding Teachers 2019, Shri Harikrishna Shastri Memorial Award, etc. and her induction as a fellow of NationalAcademy of Sciences, India (NASI) and National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS).
