NARIMAN SALIH AHMAD

Nariman Ahmad is working at the University of Sulaimani in Kurdistan of Iraq, a region where many wild wheat species can be found. He currently leads a project of assessing genetic relation for different ploidy levels of Aegilops and wild Triticum species in Kurdistan region. It aims to identify the extend of gene pool for wheat wild relative species and facilitate the introgression of stress tolerance alleles into the domesticated wheat cultivars.  Nariman has a high interest in analyzing these wheat species focusing on plant growth promoting bacteria from endophyte and Rhizosphere of wheat wild relatives to improve the performance of domestic wheat species in Kurdistan region.
