I am Dr. Umer Karamat, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in plant breeding, genetics, biotechnology, functional genomics, and crop improvement. I completed my B.Sc. (Hons.) in Agriculture and M.Phil. in Biotechnology at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. I earned my Ph.D. in Vegetable Breeding and Genetics from Hebei Agricultural University, China, in 2023. From 2023 to 2025, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I am currently working at the Maize Research Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University, where my research focuses on maize nutritional quality, high-protein germplasm, wild-relative introgression, multi-omics analysis, and functional genomics. My notable academic contributions include research on BjMYB90–BjGSTF12-mediated anthocyanin biosynthesis, the GH3 gene family, and BoGSTF12 regulation. My research has been published in journals including Plant Cell Reports, Plant Breeding, BMC Plant Biology, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and Genes. I have authored several peer-reviewed scientific articles and contributed to the supervision of postgraduate researchers. I actively participate in the international plant-science research community.
