RINKI KHOBRA, Ph.D., presently serves as a scientist (Plant Physiology) at ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, under the aegis of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. She received her M.Sc. degree from Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, in Botany and Ph.D. from ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India, in Plant Physiology. Her research is primarily focused on abiotic stress tolerance, mainly drought and lodging in wheat. She is also working on identification of plant traits contributing towards higher yield potential along with root system architectural studies. Dr. Khobra is associated with the development of one bread wheat variety and ten genetic stocks for various physiological traits. She published more than 15 research and review articles of national and international repute along with 1 bulletin, 7 book chapters, and 45 popular articles. Apart from research, Dr. Khobra is also involved in teaching Ph.D. scholars. She is a lifetime member of few professional societies GYANENDRA SINGH, Ph.D., Director, ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal, India. Dr. Singh graduated from Janta Vedic College in 1982 followed by M.Sc. in 1984 and Ph.D. in 1998. He re-defined and executed a shuttle breeding methodology for wider adaptability, resistance, and yield in wheat. He devised a new double-digit appraisal scale for spot blotch disease severity in wheat, which is convenient and time-saving, especially while evaluating large breeding populations. Dr. Singh has contributed to the development of 25 varieties, 50 genetic stocks, and 15 RIL populations in wheat to facilitate molecular studies. He has published 160 research articles, 10 edited books, 8 bulletins, 19 book chapters, 5 review articles, 6 training manuals, and 100 popular/technical articles.
