Dr. Romit Seth contributions span advanced plant physiology, stress biology, functional genomics, and transcriptome-driven discovery aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant defense, metabolic biosynthesis, and trait evolution. Investigations into Camellia sinensis have revealed candidate genes associated with blister blight resistance, providing insights into pathogen perception, defense signaling, and transcriptional reprogramming using high-resolution RNA-seq approaches. Spatial transcriptomic analysis in Trillium govanianum identified key regulatory genes involved in the biosynthesis of steroidal saponins, offering a systems-level view of tissue-specific metabolic pathway organization and potential targets for metabolic engineering of high-value phytocompounds. Population genomics studies in carrot uncovered genetic signatures of domestication and improvement, clarifying the evolutionary origin of high-carotenoid orange carrot varieties through genome-wide analyses of selection sweeps, allele diversification, and structural variations linked to pigmentation. Additional transcriptional profiling in purple tea has illuminated the seasonal dynamics of anthocyanin degradation and leaf color transitions, demonstrating how environmental cues modulate pigment biosynthesis, transport, and stabilization pathways. Collectively, this body of research advances the understanding of plant metabolic networks, defense responses, and developmental regulation, while integrating genomics and bioinformatics to support crop improvement, stress resilience, and functional characterization of agriculturally and medicinally important species.

Dr. Pavlo Lykhovyd | Agriculture | Young Scientist Award

Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine | Ukraine

Dr. Pavlo Lykhovyd is a distinguished agricultural scientist and leading researcher at the Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine. With a Doctorate in Agricultural Sciences, he specializes in land reclamation, irrigated and precision agriculture, agroecology, GIS/remote sensing, and AI/ML applications in agriculture. Over the course of his career, he has published more than 400 articles, including over 50 in WoS/Scopus-indexed journals, and contributed to highly cited works in the field. As head of the Council of Young Scientists, Pavlo has led numerous innovative projects on crop production, adaptive technologies, and digital agriculture, including GIS-based remote sensing applications and predictive modeling for irrigation and yield optimization. His work integrates scientific research with practical applications, providing consultancy to private farms and collaborating internationally on crop adaptation studies. Pavlo has authored books on neural networks in agriculture and crop production on reclaimed lands, and holds multiple patents and copyrights for agricultural software, including the Ukraine Crop Production Map and AI-driven irrigation tools. His contributions have advanced agricultural digitalization, resource-efficient irrigation, and agroecological zoning, directly enhancing productivity and sustainability in Ukraine’s steppe regions. Recognized with the President of Ukraine Prize for Young Scientists, he continues to pioneer AI and remote sensing solutions for large-scale crop monitoring, yield prediction, and climate-smart agriculture. Pavlo actively participates as a guest reviewer and editorial board member in international journals, promoting scientific rigor and innovation in modern agronomy. His research bridges traditional agricultural practices with cutting-edge technology, shaping the future of precision farming, sustainable land management, and climate-resilient agricultural systems across Ukraine and beyond.
