After obtaining his doctoral degree from University of Delhi, INDIA, he did post-doctoral research at Washington State University, Pullman, USA. His research has provided crucial resources and insights for functional genomic studies in important crop plants such as rice and chickpea. The focus of his research has been the understanding of molecular and functional behaviour of important abiotic stress, hormone and development signalling genes, including protein phosphatases, kinases, calcium transporters and phospholipases. At NIPGR major research focus of the group is to understand the molecular mechanism of nutrient (N P, K) uptake, transport and homeostasis and improving nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in crop plants rice and chickpea. Emphasis is majorly on modulation of root system architecture and genetic manipulation of nutrient transporter and their regulatory proteins. This effort would help in generating crop plants with better NUE, consequently, will result in minimal use of very expensive and polluting chemical fertilizers in agriculture system.
Dr. Singh has published about 30 research/review articles in highly reputed, peer-reviewed international journals. Also, he has co-edited a book, and published about 10 book chapters with noted book publishers. For his significant contribution in the field of plant sciences and agriculture, he was selected for the prestigious Membership of National Academy of Sciences (NASI), the oldest science academy in India. He was also awarded the coveted Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2017) from NASI and Pran Vohra Award (2018-19) from the Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA). He is also conferred with several national and international awards and fellowships during his Ph.D. and post-doctoral research, including SERB-DST Young Scientist award, Young Investigator Award-DBT, D.S. Kothari Post-doctoral Fellowship, Travel Award by American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), USA, Travel Award by CSIR-India. He has served as reviewer for several prestigious international journals, such as Plant Cell Reports, Biotechnology and Bioengineering, PLoS ONE, Plant Molecular Biology, Frontiers in Plant Science, Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, Scientific reports, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry and Journal of Plant Growth Regulation.vizualizați mai puține
