MSc. Aqsa Abbas graduated in Agriculture and she is a first-year PhD student in the field of Special Plant Production. In her PhD dissertation thesis, she is focused on molecular analysis, transcription dynamics and DNA based specific fingerprints of PR proteins under the biotic stress in plants. In her research activities, she is focused on stress sensitive DNA markers and the dynamics of stress based gene expression. Beside the genetic technologies methods, she is oriented to enthomology. The topic of her dissertation is the molecular aspects of expression and regulation of PR proteins in response to stress. She is the co-author of six studies indexed in SCOPUS database.
