RESEARCH INTERESTS

My field of study is plant breeding. For a long time, I have studied and practiced plant genetics. I am interested in plant molecular breeding. With the emergence of new technologies such as different molecular markers, their application for plant genetic improvement is very exciting for me. I am especially interested in Melon and Tomato breeding. Melon is an important crop in Iran with wonderful diversity in shape and taste. We try to transfer important genes into high yield varieties via classic and modern methods. Tomato is also a very important vegetable and is cultivated across the country. Hybrid seed technology needs elite lines with different resistance genes against plant diseases. In a national project we try to produce improved lines.
