He has published 72 research/review papers in various journals of International and National repute, authored one book ‘Agricultural Biotechnology at a Glance’, edited three books, contributed 8 book chapters and 23 popular articles. He has developed high efficiency plant regeneration and genetic transformation protocols in a number of crops including Populus ciliata, P. deltoides, Punica granatum, Capsicum annum and Cucumis sativus. Dr. Thakur is associated with Brassica juncea improvement programme using biotechnological interventions from last fourteen years. He has developed a core set of SSR markers for B. juncea genomics and has worked on germplasm characterization and association mapping of various agronomically important traits in this oilseed crop. He has also been granted one patent from Indian Patent Office, New Delhi and associated in the development of two high yielding Indian mustard varieties Giriraj & Brajraj, one gobhi sarson variety, AKMS-8141 and five disease resistant Indian mustard genetic stocks. Dr. Thakur has received many awards from various societies and scientific organizations for his scientific contribution. He is also an elected Member of Plant Tissue Culture Association of India (PTCAI) and selected Member of National Academy of Sciences-India (NASI), Allahabad.
Dr. Pankaj Kumar currently serves as an Assistant Professor in Biotechnology at the Department of Biotechnology, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India. His academic journey includes post-doctoral studies at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research in New Delhi and the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research - Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. Dr. Kumar boasts 12 years of expertise in horticulture biotechnology, focusing on plant secondary metabolite enhancement through cell and tissue engineering approaches. His research encompasses the identification of molecular cues associated with enhanced metabolites using a comparative transcriptomics approach. Additionally, he possesses experience in hydro-aero cultivation of medicinal plants for industrial significance. During Doctoral Studies; he (research team) has generated technology at Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry Nauni, Solan for developing insect pest-resistant transgenic plants in economically important vegetable crops of cauliflower cv. Pusa Snowball, cabbage cv. Pride of India and broccoli cv. Solan Green Head (with cryIAa gene) for insect pest resistance. His accolades include the DST INSPIRE JRF/SRF Fellowship, ICAR AICE-SRF (PGS), and ICAR ASRB National Eligibility Test (NET). Dr. Kumar has an extensive publication record with more than 60 research/review papers, 23 book chapters, and 4 books.
