Dr. Ajay Kumar Parida is an Indian biologist noted for his contributions in the fields of agriculture, plant molecular biology and biotechnology. In 2014, Parida was awarded the Padma Shri Award by the President of India for his contribution in the field of Science and Technology.〔 〕 Parida, who was born and raised in Odisha, is the Executive Director of the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=M S SWAMINATHAN RESEARCH FOUNDATION )〕 Chennai. ==Research== Parida’s major scientific contribution is in the area of application of frontier technology for addressing major challenges in global and national declining agriculture productivity threatened due to climate change, sea level rise and reduced precipitation. His research aims at developing location specific crop verities to cope with the adverse impact of climate change and has significant implications in bringing in stability and sustainability of the major farming systems. Parida has used advanced biotechnological tools for crop improvement. He has made pioneering contributions in identifying stress tolerant genes specifically for salt and drought stress. Parida’s research has also contributed to the basic understanding of the genetic architecture and species relationship in mangroves, and wild relatives of cultivated cereals, legumes and other cultivated crop species. He has supervised 20 students for their Ph.D. degree. With more than 70 peer reviewed publications in international journals, Parida’s research contributions has been widely cited and many of the publications are of significant value to increasing the basic understanding of the process and mechanisms associated with genetic resources characterization, conservation genetics, stress biology and biotechnology related policy issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ajay Kumar Parida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
