Prof. Sudhir Kumar Sopory is an Indian academician and eminent plant molecular biologist. He is a stalwart of Indian Scientific Research with prominence in the areas of Molecular Plant Physiology, Stress Biology and Plant Biotechnology. Prof. Sopory had his education first in the University of Kashmir for his graduate and postgraduate degree and then completed his doctorate at the University of Delhi in the field of Plant Molecular Biology. He began his academic career in the year 1973 as a faculty at the School of Life Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and worked there till 1996. His teaching and research career spans over 45 years inclusive of that as visiting scientist at Max Planck Institute

for Plant Breeding Research, Germany; visiting Fulbright fellow at the Department of Botany, University of Texas, USA, and Plant Molecular Biology Lab of the US Department of Agriculture, USA; and visiting Humboldt professor at the University of Munich, Germany. He has broadly worked in the area of light signal transduction and plant stress biology. His group identified the involvement of a number of novel genes in abiotic stress responses and was the first to work out in details the rol
