Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy, professor in the PostGraduate
Department of Botany, Karnatak University, Dharwad, India, has
obtained his Ph.D. degree from Karnatak University, India. He has a
tremendous passion for research and academics. Since 1986, he has
served various positions in the Post-Graduate Department of Botany,
Karnatak University, Dharwad, India. Apart from his teaching
experience of 35 years, he possesses extensive research experience
in the area of plant biotechnology. He has postdoctoral and
collaborative research experience in many foreign research
institutes. Professor Murthy has worked at Biotechnology Division,
Tata Energy Research Institute, New Delhi, India (1992); Crop
Science Department, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada (1993);
Research Centre for the Development of Horticultural Technology,
Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, South Korea (2000–2001;
2002; 2004, 2006–2007, 2013– 2014); and Department of Biological
Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom
(2005–2006), as a postdoctoral fellow/visiting scientist. He is a
recipient of various prestigious fellowships, including
Biotechnology National Associate and Biotechnology Overseas
Associate (awarded by Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of
Science and Technology, Government of India); Brain Pool Fellowship
(awarded by Korean Society of Science and Technology, South Korea);
Visiting Fellowship (awarded by Korea Science and Engineering
Foundation, South Korea); and Commonwealth Post-doctoral Fellowship
(awarded by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, UK). He
has completed more than 15 research projects funded by various
agencies and guided several xi Ph.D. students. Professor Murthy has
published more than 225 research articles in international
peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors. His research work
has been cited more than 4300 times by fellow researchers and has
an H-index (Hirsch index) of 34 as recorded by Scopus. Professor
Murthy has developed biotechnological methods for the production of
pharmaceutically important secondary metabolites from cell and
organ cultures of ginseng, Siberian ginseng, Echinacea, and St.
John’s wort using large-scale bioreactors along with South Korean
collaborators. His experimental investigations on the use of
adventitious root cultures and bioreactor technologies for the
production of biomass and secondary metabolites have paved the way
for the commercialization of plant secondary metabolites. Various
ginsengbased commercial products have been released and are
currently available in the market.
Professor Kee Yoeup Paek received his Ph.D. degree in
1984 from the Kyungbuk National University, South Korea, and he
worked at Chungbuk National University, South Korea, for 40 years
as assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. He has
received large funds from various agencies and established the
Research Center for the Development of Advanced Horticultural
Technology at Chungbuk National University, South Korea, and he was
the director of this center till his superannuation. On the
research front, he has worked on large-scale production of
secondary metabolites from medicinal plant tissue culture and
bioreactor culture technology; mass propagation of horticultural
plants through bioreactor technology; morphological, physiological,
and biochemical responses of in vitro produced plants during
acclimatization; and flowering physiology of ornamental plants.
Professor Paek was the president of the Korean Orchid Society,
Korean Society for Horticultural Sciences, and Korean Plant
Biotechnology Society. He has worked at the Institute of Plant
Physiology, Russia; Department of Horticulture, Chiba University,
Japan; University of Calgary, Canada; and University of California,
Riverside, USA. He has published 630 papers including several books
published xii About the Editors by reputed journals and publishers.
He has guided 47 Ph.D. students, 38 postdoctoral students, and
active member of numerous research projects. He has ten
international patents awarded by Korea, Japan, and the USA.
