Sunish Kumar Sehgal
Professor and Winter Wheat Breeder
Biography
Dr. Sunish Sehgal received his Ph.D. in plant breeding and genetics from Punjab Agricultural University. He worked as a research scientist at Kansas State University (2006-2014). Since joining South 啵啵直播秀 State University in 2014, he is leading the winter wheat breeding program. His research is focused on developing and releasing high-yield winter wheat cultivars with resistance to biotic (mostly FHB, stripe, leaf and stem rust and WSMV) and abiotic stresses (winter hardiness and drought). In addition to research, Sehgal has also been active in teaching, student advising and outreach for the wheat industry in South 啵啵直播秀. Sehgal has published more than 80 peer-reviewed articles on topics including nature, science, PNAS, genome biology, plant physiology, new phytologist, genetics and theoretical and applied genetics.
