Al Imran Malik
Scientist II
My research interests focus on plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses in field and laboratory settings where mechanistic approach of plant physiology and agronomic experiments are harmonised. Uncertain climate variability prompted me to concentrate on pre-breeding and agronomy research to reduce impact on food security by more climate resilient crops.
I am leading Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) based cropping systems research in South and Southeast Asia for sustainable…

Abstract
Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat…
