  • 2014 - Fellow of Pakistan Academy of Sciences

Overview

Shahid Mansoor is affiliated with the University of Karachi in Pakistan. Their research focuses primarily on the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Within these fields, their work spans several subfields including Plant Science, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Insect Science, and Endocrinology.

Their main topics of study cover a diverse range of areas such as Plant Virus Research Studies, CRISPR and Genetic Engineering, Insect-Plant Interactions and Control, Insect Resistance and Genetics, Plant and Fungal Interactions Research, Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, and Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals.

Mansoor has published extensively, with frequent publications appearing in venues such as Trends in Plant Science, Scientific Reports, Australasian Plant Pathology, Gene, and Frontiers in Genetics.

Recent notable papers include:

  • "Precise CRISPR-Cas9 Mediated Genome Editing in Super Basmati Rice for Resistance Against Bacterial Blight by Targeting the Major Susceptibility Gene," 2020, Frontiers in Plant Science
  • "Genome Editing Technologies for Rice Improvement: Progress, Prospects, and Safety Concerns," 2020, Frontiers in Genome Editing
  • "Understanding divergent domestication traits from the whole-genome sequencing of swamp- and river-buffalo populations," 2020, National Science Review
  • "Omics and CRISPR-Cas9 Approaches for Molecular Insight, Functional Gene Analysis, and Stress Tolerance Development in Crops," 2021, International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • "Improvement of Soybean; A Way Forward Transition from Genetic Engineering to New Plant Breeding Technologies," 2022, Molecular Biotechnology

The scientist collaborates frequently with several co-authors, the most prominent being Imran Amin, followed by Rubab Zahra Naqvi, Muhammad Jawad Akbar Awan, Muhammad Arslan Mahmood, and Nasim Ahmed.

Shahid Mansoor was named a Fellow of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences in 2014.
