Department of Botany
Dr. Farooq Ahmad

Position & Department: Chairman/Associate Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Plant Taxonomy is an important field of Botany dealing with identification, nomenclature and classification of plants. My current focus is on the taxonomic and ethnobotanical studies of plants, especially the Grasses from different areas of Pakistan. My research interests are in Plant Taxonomy&Systematics, Agrostology,Medicinal Plants, Ethnobotanical studies, Plant anatomy and Palynology .

 
Abdul Wahid, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Environmental stresses are major constraints to the productivity of crops throughout the world. It is therefore imperative that mechanisms and causes of the stress effects on plant growth and development may be determined systematically, and strategies may be adopted to overcome adverse effects of stresses in order to achieve maximum productivity from the salinity, high temperature and drought-hit areas. My current interests are focused on the expression of stress proteins and other stress related primary and secondary metabolites under water, salinity, heat and cadmium stresses, and finding strategies to fetch greater yields under such conditions. Among the various crops major emphasis is on wheat, barley, rice, sugarcane and maize.

 
Mansoor Hameed, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Chairman/Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Exploring the adaptive mechanisms in natural populations (mainly grasses and sedges) in relation to morpho-anatomy and physiology. Revision of the flora of the Faisalabad region. Comparative anatomy of native flora. Evaluation and explotation of germplasm resources of major and minor crop plants of Pakistan. Exploration of origin and diversity of dateplam in Pakistan.

 
Muhammad Shahbaz, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Crop growth and production is severely affected by various abiotic and biotic factors. Of various abiotic stresses, drought, salinity and temperature stresses are much common. Various strategies are used to enhance crop salt tolerance. These are including screening methods, genetic engineering and shot-gun approaches. In shot-gun approaches application of various compounds like compatible solutes, plant growth regulators and various inorganic fertilizers. My main focus is to study the effect of various shot-gun approaches on crop growth under abiotic stresses especially under drought and salt stress conditions.

 
Muhammad Sajid Aqeel Ahmad, Ph.D

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: My major filed of study is Environmental Biology and Plant Ecology. In addition to conducting research on heavy metal toxicity and prospects for their bio-remediation, I have also worked on ecological aspect of distribution of plant species in response to environment (Gradient analysis). I have also worked on the conservation strategies of native endangered flora of Pakistan.

 
Samina Tanvir, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts:

 
Aysha Kiran, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: • Rhizobox based root architecture phenotyping analysis by using digital tools and software for screening of genetic variation in different genotypes/crops. • Genetics analysis of soybean Ferritin gene as a candidate gene for Fe-biofortification in wheat by using different molecular techniques and bioinformatics tools. • Localization of Fe and Zn in wheat seeds by using cryo-microtomy and confocal microscopic techniques.

 
Muhammad Arfan, Ph.D.

Position & Department: Lecturer, Department of Botany, Faculty of Sciences

Research Intersts: Investigations on different chemical compounds capable of reducing the stress sensitivity of crops are of great importance from both the theoretical and the practical point of view. My current focus is on a phenolic compound salicylic acid was first demonstrated to play a role in biotic stress. However, salicylic acid was gradually found to have more and more roles that could be of importance for other stress factors. A large number of evidence in recent years suggested that salicylic acid also play a role in responses to abiotic stresses such as (drought, salt, low and high temperature, heavy metals etc.). Most of the researches, on this subject, have reported on the protective effect of exogenous salicylic acid against abiotic stress. Numerous mutants and transgenic plants are now available in which the salicylic acid metabolism has been modified in some way.
