About the Author:

Dr. Sukhada Mohandas is currently the Director of company SM Plant Production Technologies Pvt Ltd. in Bangalore involved in development of planting material of banana and other horticultural crop cultivars. She retired from Agriculture Research Service of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research in 2013 after serving in Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, India for 35 years and thereafter as Emeritus scientist for two years. Her group was actively involved in cloning genes and in development of transgenic banana for fusarium wilt resistant for the past one decade. She is a recipient of several awards important among them being 1. Jawaharlal Nehru Award for the best Ph.D thesis -1980, 2. Indian National Science Academy's Young Scientist Award- 1981, 3. C.N.Patel Industrial Award for women scientists by VASVIK foundation-1993 and 4. Panjabrao- Deshmuk Outstanding Woman Agricultural Scientist Award 1998. She has authored more than 200 publications.

Dr. K. V. Ravishankar is currently Principal Scientist at ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, India. He has been associated with the Division of Biotechnology for last two decades. His area of research interests are genetics, genomics, association studies and marker assisted breeding of horticultural crops. His group was involved in the development of microsatellite markers in many crop species like mango, wild banana Musa balbisiana, okra, Garcinia indica, G. morella, G. gummigutta. In addition to this, his group works on functional genomics of fusarium wilt, drought and heat tolerance in banana; fruit development and ripening in mango; and tomato leaf curl virus resistance, early blight tolerance and drought/heat tolerance in tomato. His laboratory is also involved in marker assisted breeding of many horticultural crops. He has published 4 book chapters and over 50 research papers.
