Author Information
Mian Abdur Rehman Arif is a researcher affiliated with the Wheat Breeding Group, Plant Breeding and Genetics Division, Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology, located on Jhang Road, Faisalabad, Pakistan. His work primarily focuses on the genetic improvement of bread wheat, particularly in areas such as insect resistance, seed longevity, and physiological traits associated with yield.Research Contributions
Mian Abdur Rehman Arif has made significant contributions to the field of genetics, with a particular emphasis on bread wheat. In 2022, his research delved into genetic insights and the natural diversity related to insect resistance in bread wheat. Furthermore, he mapped additive and epistatic quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked to seed longevity. His comprehensive review on the genetic and molecular causes of seed longevity in plants highlights his expertise in this area. In 2021, he conducted extensive studies on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genetic dissection of various traits, explored physiological traits linked with yield, and worked on the introgression of untapped genetic diversity into elite wheat lines. His research also includes mapping resistance to Fusarium Head Blight and identifying loci for cereal cyst nematode resistance.Aliases
