Jitendra Kumar is working as an Assistant Professor of Environmental Sciences in the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Dr. Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University, Lucknow, India. Dr. Kumar has obtained his D.Phil. degree from University of Allahabad, India. His areas of research interest are impact of ROS on structural, biochemical and molecular changes in plants and cyanobacteria under different abiotic stress conditions. He has authored more than 20 publications in scientific journals of international repute. Dr. Kumar has also been working as reviewer of several reputed international journals. Shweta Gaur is working as a research scholar in Department of Botany, University of Allahabad, India. She has obtained her M.Sc. degree in Botany from Banaras Hindu University, India. Her research interests include the exploration of the role of silicon in modulating abiotic stresses in general and heavy metals and nanoparticles in particular in various plants with special reference to morphology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. By now, she has authored 10 research papers including review articles and book chapters in journals and books of international repute. Prabhat Kumar Srivastava is an academician, working as an Assistant Professor of Botany in K.S. Saket Post Graduate College, Ayodhya, UP, 224123, India, an affiliated college of Dr. R.L. Avadh University, Ayodhya, India. Under his D. Phil program he confirmed the stimulatory role of controlled fluence rates of UV-B on cyanobacterial physiology and biochemistry. His research interest includes the role of UVRESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) in perception and transduction of signals for protective responses following low UV-B fluence exposure impacting physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and the overall structure of plants and cyanobacteria. Dr. Srivastava has obtained his D.Phil. degree from University of Allahabad, India. He has authored more than 20 research papers having international repute. Dr. Srivastava is working as reviewer of several international scientific journals. Rohit Kumar Mishra has been involved in research pertaining to ecotoxicology and bioremediation for more than 15 years. He has an excellent academic record.
