Overview

Harbans Bariana is affiliated with Western Sydney University in Australia and focuses on research within Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work extensively covers Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Agronomy and Crop Science, reflecting a broad engagement with plant genetics and breeding.

Bariana's research primarily addresses topics such as Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics, Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies, Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals, Bioenergy Crop Production and Management, and Genetic and Environmental Crop Studies.

They have published in several academic venues with multiple contributions in Theoretical and Applied Genetics, followed by publications in Agronomy, Genes, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and Plants.

Recent publications include the following:

  • Discovery of the New Leaf Rust Resistance Gene Lr82 in Wheat: Molecular Mapping and Marker Development, 2022, Genes
  • Harnessing landrace diversity empowers wheat breeding, 2024, Nature
  • Lr80: A new and widely effective source of leaf rust resistance of wheat for enhancing diversity of resistance among modern cultivars, 2021, Theoretical and Applied Genetics
  • Genome-wide association reveals a complex architecture for rust resistance in 2300 worldwide bread wheat accessions screened under various Australian conditions, 2020, Theoretical and Applied Genetics
  • Fine Mapping of Lr49 Using 90K SNP Chip Array and Flow-Sorted Chromosome Sequencing in Wheat, 2020, Frontiers in Plant Science

Bariana frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Urmil Bansal, Kerrie Forrest, Matthew Hayden, Naeela Qureshi, and Hanif Miah, with collaboration counts ranging from eight to forty publications.
