Descripción

Cadmium Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants: Agronomic, Genetic, Molecular and Omic Approaches presents research and latest developments on mechanisms of cadmium tolerance covering both lab and field conditions. This book contains important insights and options for minimizing Cd accumulation in plants and mitigating Cd toxicity. Topics covered include using various omics approaches to understanding plant responses to Cd, novel technologies for developing Cd tolerance and integrated breeding approaches to mitigate Cd stress in crops. Cadmium Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants: Agronomic, Genetic, Molecular and Omic Approaches is a valuable resource for both researchers and students working on cadmium pollution and plant responses as well as related fields of environmental contamination and toxicology.

Kamrun Nahar

Kamrun Nahar is a leading plant stress physiologist and Professor of Agricultural Botany at Sher‑e‑Bangla Agricultural University in Dhaka, Bangladesh. She began her academic career at the same institution in 2011 and rose to the rank of Professor in 2021. Her research focuses on the physiological and biochemical mechanisms that enhance plant resilience to abiotic stresses, including drought, waterlogging, salinity, metal toxicity, and extreme temperatures, with particular emphasis on antioxidant and glyoxalase pathways. Prof. Nahar earned her Ph.D. in Environmental Stress Physiology from Ehime University, Japan, and completed her Master’s degree at Kagawa University, both supported by Japanese Government (MEXT) scholarships. She has received numerous distinctions, including the BAS Gold Medal Award (2017), multiple academic merit awards, and national research fellowships. A BAS Associate Fellow since 2021, she continues to supervise graduate researchers and lead projects funded by national research bodies.
