Rama Shanker Dubey (born 23 December 1955) is a biochemist and academic leader, currently serving as the Vice-Chancellor of the Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar.[2][3]
Early life and education[edit]
Rama Shanker Dubey was born on 23 December 1955 in Sanisonakara, Raghunathpur, Siwan district, Bihar.
He received his Master of Science degree in biochemistry in 1976 and his Doctor of Philosophy in biochemistry in 1980 from Banaras Hindu University.[2]
Career[edit]
Dubey served as the vice chancellor of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University from 2014 to 2017. He was appointed as vice chancellor of the Central University of Gujarat on 22 November 2019 and is currently serving there.[2][4]
Research interests[edit]
His most cited article, "Reactive Oxygen Species, Oxidative Damage, and Antioxidative Defense Mechanism in Plants under Stressful Conditions",[5] explores the role of reactive oxygen species and antioxidative defense mechanisms in plants under stressful conditions, contributing to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses in plants.[6][7]
"Lead Toxicity in Plants" is a review article that discusses the effects of lead contamination on plants. Lead, a potential soil pollutant, is readily absorbed by plants and can cause a number of toxicity symptoms, such as stunted growth, chlorosis, and root system blackening.[8] The article explores the various morphological, physiological, and biochemical effects of lead toxicity and the mechanisms adopted by plants for lead detoxification and developing tolerance to it. Some of these mechanisms include sequestration of lead in the vacuole, phytochelatin synthesis, and binding to glutathione and amino acids. The article also highlights the potential of using phytoremediation and rhizofiltration technologies for cleaning lead-contaminated soils.[9]
