Dr. Krishan K. Verma is a plant physiologist and molecular biologist specializing in sugarcane biotechnology, soil–plant interactions, and sustainable agriculture. He serves as a Foreign Expert at the Sugarcane Research Institute, Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences (China). He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Lucknow, India, and has held research and teaching positions at several institutions in India and China. His research focuses on the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying plant responses to polluted environments, water stress, and nanomaterial applications for crop resilience. He has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed papers, authored multiple books with Springer and CRC Press, and received international recognition for his contributions to agricultural science.
