Prof. Dr. Saad Hussein | Agriculture | Best Researcher Award

Prof. Dr. Saad Hussein | Mansoura University | Egypt

Prof. Dr. Saad Farouk Mohamed Hussein is a distinguished plant scientist whose research spans environmental stress physiology, plant–animal interactions, and sustainable crop improvement strategies. His scholarly contributions encompass advanced investigations into plant responses to abiotic stresses—including salinity, drought, water deficit, and heavy-metal toxicity—as well as biotic challenges from pathogens and pests. He has extensively explored the roles of osmoregulators, growth substances, antioxidants, and natural chelators in enhancing plant tolerance, with a particular focus on alleviating cadmium stress. His work also advances knowledge in seed physiology and germination, hydroponic “sand culture” systems, and plant nutrition through biostimulants, effective microorganisms, and targeted nutrient management. In addition, he contributes to sustainable disease management using elicitors, vitamins, and integrated ecological approaches. His morph-anatomical and physiological studies deepen understanding of plant defense chemistry and stress-induced adaptations, while his expertise extends to plant biotechnology, tissue culture, secondary metabolites, and advanced microscopy. With 1,013 citations, 31 published documents, and an h-index of 17, he has made a significant impact on agricultural botany and plant physiology research, providing vital insights that support resilient crop production and sustainable agricultural systems.
