A plant breeder with over 6 years of expertise in developing and promoting crops. I have successfully developed two rice genotypes that possess an introgressed gene for salinity tolerance. I am currently the head of the crop program at the Central Agricultural Research Institute (CARI), a position I have been working in for about four years.
