Dr. Mohar Singh is presently working as a Senior Scientist (Plant Breeding) at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources Pusa, New Delhi India. Dr Singh obtained his Doctoral degree in Plant Breeding from the Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur, India in 2001. He has been working on genetic and genomic resources of pulses for the last 12 years. Presently, he is working on pre-breeding and genetic enhancement for breaking yield barriers in lentil and chickpea. He has identified several useful gene sources for various trait of interest in wild Cicer and Lens species and some of them have been introgressed into the cultivated background for widening the gene pool. Dr Singh has published more than 50 research papers in the journals of national and international repute like Plant Breeding, Crop Science, PLoS ONE, DNA Research, Journal of Agricultural Science, Journal of Genetics and Breeding, Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, Plant Genetic Resources: Characterization and Utilization and Adv Hort Science and also authored two text books and one edited published by Elsevier Insights.
