Dr. Singh obtained his PhD from the University of Allahabad on topic “Oxidative stress and antioxidant system in some cyanobacteria simultaneously exposed to UV-B and heavy metal.” He has authored 102 publications, as well as editorials in reputed journals. His area of research interest is the role of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulphide signalling in the regulation of abiotic stress in plants. Dr. Singh is also working as an editor and reviewer of several reputed international journals. Vijay Pratap Singh is an Assistant Professor, Department of Botany C.M.P. Post Graduate College, University of Allahabad, India. Dr. Singh has obtained his D.Phil. degree from University of Allahabad. He has authored 95 publications including book chapters and editorials in reputed journals. He has edited several books with Elsevier, Wiley, CRC Press, Nova Publisher, Studium Press, etc. His area of research interest is regulation of abiotic stress in plants with special emphasis on nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, reactive oxygen species and phytohormonal signaling. Dr. Singh is also working as an editor and reviewer of reputed international journals. Samiksha Singh is working as a D.Phil. research scholar in Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, Allahabad, India. She has obtained her M.Sc. degree in Environmental Science from Lucknow University. Her area of research interest is management of abiotic stress in plants using biochemical and molecular approach. Samiksha Singh is a Junior Research Fellow in the Plant Physiology and Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, India. Her area of research interest is management of metal stress in plants using biochemical and molecular approach with emphasis on nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide signaling. She has authored 33 publications in reputed international journals. She has edited books with Wiley, Nova Science Publisher, Studium Press and others. Dr. Durgesh Kumar Tripathi is currently an Associate Professor at Amity Institute of Organic Agriculture, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India. He is the recipient of ‘Dr DS Kothari Post-Doctoral Fellowship’ of the UGC, New Delhi. Dr. Tripathi has received his D.Phil. in Science from University of Allahabad, India. During this period, Dr. Tripathi worked extensively on phytolith analysis, crop stress physiology, agro-nanotechnology and molecular biology. He has expertise on laser spectroscopy. His research interests encompass stress tolerance mechanisms in plants. Presently, he is working with nano-materials and their interactions with plants to find out their detoxification mechanisms, he is also working on Silicon, Nitric oxide and hormonal crosstalk against abiotic stress in plants. Dr. Romero-Puertas is working as a tenure track researcher at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants, in the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), Spain. She has authored more than 50 articles in highly reputed journals and Her research is related with NO signaling in plants under both, biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Prof. Luisa M. Sandalio is a researcher with wide experience in the field of biochemistry and physiology of abiotic stress in plants, including heavy metal stress, salinity, herbicides and senescence processes. She is the head of the research group “Signaling by oxygen and nitrogen reactive species under stress conditions in plants” and of the Excellence Group of the same name under the auspices of the Junta de Andalucia in the Department of Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology of Plants in the Estación Experimental del Zaidín, CSIC, Granada, Spain. Her work has pioneered the study of different sources of superoxide radicals in plant peroxisomes and the presence in these organelles of a complex set of antioxidants. She has made especially contributed to our knowledge of the role of ROS and NO in cell responses to heavy metals.
