Rajeev Nayan Bahuguna, PhD

Currently working as a Scientist at the National Agri-Food Biotechnology Institute, Mohali, India. Previously, I have worked in many organizations of national and international repute such as the International Rice Research Institute, Manila, Philippines; Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi; Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi; and Dr Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Pusa

Our lab’s research focuses on designing nutrient-rich high-yielding crops such as rice and lentil by discovering novel traits and genes through multi-OMICs approach. Improved crop varieties responsive to available resources with high resource use efficiency, and efficient nutrient recycling could sustain food and nutritional security. We explore natural genetic diversity and mutant populations to identify trait(s) for resource responsiveness, climate resilience, and a fine balance between assimilate-nutrient accumulation in grains. Key focus areas include source-sink dynamics, photosynthesis, respiration and tolerance to stress combinations prevalent under changing climate.
