Dr. S. M. Abdullah Al Mamun
Professor
Address:
Professor, Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh
Dr.
Mamun specializes in rice improvement through mutation and molecular approach
breeding. With a strong background in plant genetics and breeding techniques,
he is committed to enhancing rice cultivars to address global food security
challenges and improve agricultural sustainability. His doctoral research
focused on the development of rice mutants using mutagenesis techniques and
their subsequent evaluation using molecular markers and quantitative trait
analysis. Dr. Mamun has extensive experience in employing molecular markers,
including SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats) and SNPs (Single Nucleotide
Polymorphisms), to analyze and assess the genetic diversity within the rice
mutant populations. By utilizing advanced genomic tools and marker-assisted selection,
he aims to accelerate the breeding process by identifying and selecting
promising mutant lines with desirable traits. Beyond his research activities,
Dr. Mamun is an advocate for sustainable agriculture and the responsible use of
genetic technologies. He actively engages with farmers, agricultural
communities, and policymakers to raise awareness about the importance of crop
improvement, emphasizing the benefits of mutation breeding and molecular
approaches in rice breeding programs.
