About

Dr. Hasan Mehraj is a plant molecular biologist and geneticist, currently serving as a JSPS postdoctoral researcher at the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) in Japan. Dr. Mehraj holds two Ph.D. degrees in Agricultural Science: one from Kobe University (2022) and another from Ehime University (2017), Japan. He earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Agriculture and Horticulture, respectively, from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University in Bangladesh. Dr. Mehraj's research focuses on plant breeding, genetics, epigenetics, plant nutritropism, and plant tissue culture. His work includes the identification of stress-related genes, heterosis, and QTL analysis in Brassica rapa, as well as plant tissue culture in orchids. Currently, he is working on plant nutritropism in rice. Beyond his research, he has reviewed numerous manuscripts for various reputable journals, including those published by Springer Nature, Elsevier, Frontiers, Taylor & Francis, and MDPI, reflecting his active engagement and recognized expertise in the scientific community. Dr. Mehraj is actively involved in editing services as a guest editor for special issues in journals such as Plants and Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany. Dr. Mehraj's contributions have significantly advanced the field of plant science, particularly in the areas of molecular breeding and epigenetic regulation.
