      About the Editors

Dr. Sudhir P. Singh is currently Scientist‐D at the Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (DBT‐CIAB), Mohali, India. He has been working in the area of molecular biology and biotechnology for more than a decade. Currently, his primary focus of research is gene mining and biocatalyst engineering for the development of approaches for transformation of agro‐industrial residues and under‐ or un‐utilized side‐stream biomass into value‐added bioproducts. He has explored the metagenomic resources from diverse ecological niches and developed enzyme systems for catalytic biosynthesis of functional sugar molecules such as D‐allulose, turanose, fructooligosaccharides, glucooligosaccharides, 4‐galactosyl‐kojibiose, xylooligosaccharides, levan, dextran, resistant starch, and so on. Dr. Singh has published over 60 research articles, 04 review articles, and 06 books (edited). Further, he has 06 patents (granted) to his credit as an inventor. He has been conferred International Bioprocessing Association‐Young Scientist Award (2017), School of Biosciences‐Madurai Kamraj University (SBS‐MKU) Genomics Award (2017), Professor Hira Lal Chakravarty Award, ISCA, DST, (2018), Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Award to team (as a guide) (2019), and the member of the National Academy of Sciences, India (2020).

      Dr. Santosh Kumar Upadhyay is currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. Prior to this, Dr. Upadhyay was DST‐INSPIRE faculty at the National Agri‐Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, Punjab, India. He did his doctoral work at the CSIR‐National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow, and received his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from UP Technical University, Lucknow, India. He has been working in the field of Plant Biotechnology for more than 14 years. His present research focuses in the area of functional genomics. He is involved in the bio‐prospecting and characterization of various insect toxic proteins from plant biodiversity, and defense and stress signaling genes in bread wheat. His research group at PU has characterized numerous important gene families and long noncoding RNAs related to the abiotic and biotic stress tolerance and signaling in bread wheat. He has also established the method for genome editing in bread wheat using CRISPR‐Cas system and developed a tool SSinder for CRISPR target site prediction. His research contribution led the publication of more than 60 research papers in leading journals of international repute. Further, there are more than five national and international patents, four books to his credit. In recognition of his substantial research record, he has been awarded NAAS Young scientist award (2017–2018) and NAAS‐Associate (2018) from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2013) from the Indian National Science Academy, India, NASI‐Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2012) from the National Academy of Sciences, India, and Altech Young Scientist Award (2011). He has also been the recipient of the prestigious DST‐INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship (2012), and SERB‐Early Career Research Award, (2016) from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. Dr. Upadhyay also serves as a member of the editorial board and reviewer of several peer‐reviewed international journals.
