Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat are conferred with Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Plant Breeding
04 April, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP
Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat are helping to cultivate world''s future scientists. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to excel. In historic victory the celebrity scientists: Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat honored with Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Plant Breeding. Ahead of several thousands competitors, Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat representing India won prestigious Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Plant Breeding. Again India has proved its International leadership via producing brilliant scientists in the form of Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat. IASR expressed, 'It is a privilege to have such international celebrity from subject among us who will shape the future of this domain.' Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat made International news headlines while IASR announced them among World’s 500 Most Influential Plant Breeder for Year 2015 on Earth. Dr. Tariq Ahmad Bhat is Lecturer at botany, Department of School Education, Govt. of Jammu and kashmir India. His field of Specialization is Cytogenetics, Plant Breeding and Molecular Biology. Dr. Aijaz Ahmad Wani is Sr. Assistant Professor at Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology Laboratory, Department of Botany University of Kashmir, 190 006, Srinagar, J&K, India. His field of Specialization is Cytogenetics, Plant Breeding and Molecular Biology. Jahangir Ahmad Dar is Research Scholar at Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, 190 006, Srinagar, J&K India. Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Plant Breeding. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal for Horticulture'. In their report on Malus × domestica Borkh. - from wild resources to present day cultivated apple they mention that The apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) (Rosaceae, Maliodeae) is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits of genus Malus. The sub-family Maloideae (X=17) to which apple belongs is believed to have originated from ancestors of Spiraeoideae by a hybridization event followed by polyploidization and subsequent aneuploid loss. The cultivated apple originated in Central Asia where its wild ancestor Malus sieversii, is still found today. In ancient times, apple seeds and trees were likely dispersed from Central Asia, east to China and west to Europe, via trade caravan routes popularly referred to as the “Silk Route”. Cultivation of the species progressed over a long period of time and permitted secondary introgression of genes from other species present along the Silk Route. Significant exchange with Malus sylvestris, Malus baccata, Malus orientalis, Malus prunifolia, Malus asiatica etc. resulted in current populations of apples. Selected cultivars likely arose from random hybridizations and they were maintained by vegetative propagation, especially grafting. By the 20th century, more than 10,000 cultivars are documented, most of them being chance seedlings. The present book chapter is a brief review on the origin and domestication of cultivated apple based on the molecular and non-molecular evidences generated by various researchers. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat as valuable intellectuals for the country offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Aijaz A. Wani, Jahangir A. Dar and Tariq A. Bhat to world. Cultivated apple has been initially domesticated from M. sieversii of Central Asia and subsequently received a significant genetic contribution from M. sylvestris, M. baccata and M.orientalis present along the Silk Route. The commercial apple is thus a species hybrid with complex history of interspecific and intraspecific hybridization. Vegetative propagation through grafting has played important role in preserving genetic variability and elite genotypes in domesticated apple. The contributions from various wild species to the M. domestica gene pool highlights the need for conservation of these wild genetic resources which may contain important genes for disease resistance, quality and adaptability for further improvement of domesticated apple.
