Salah El-Sayed El-Hendawy, received his Ph.D from Technical University of Munich, Institute of Plant Nutrition, Department of Plant Sciences, Germany in 2004 and M.Sc. from Agronomy Department, Suez Canal University. Associate Professor at King Saud University from 2012.
Research concentrates on the intersection between plant and environmental stress with emphasis on drought, salt and submergence stress and agricultural water management. Improving Egyptian wheat genotypes for salt tolerance was elucidated (El-Hendawy et al., 2005). Response of field crops to different agronomic practices was studied (El-Hendawy et al., 2009 and 2010). Sensitive reactions of gramineous plants to salt stress were elucidated with a particular focus on physiological and chemical characteristics (El-Hendawy et al., 2007). Recent attempts concentrate on non-destructive techniques to characterize with high through-put relevant traits of droughted and salinised plants under field conditions (Precision Phenotyping) (El-Hendawy et al., 2014, 2015). The other major research topic deals with optimizing water management implementing novel methods in plant cultivation.

 

• Using Precision Phenotyping for evaluating wheat genotypes for salt and drought stress.
• Using friendly environmental chemicals for improving crop production under stress.
