Dr Sudhir Navathe has made exceptional contributions across diverse plant pathology and agricultural research domains, leadership, and international recognition. He has published 34 researcharticles with 1012 citations and H-index 13. He has contributed significantly by developing two rust-resistant, high-yielding, nutritionally rich wheat varieties, MACS 6768 (MACS SAKAS) for theCentral zone and MACS 4100 (MACS JEJURI) for the Peninsular zone for Indian conditions notified by CVRC Gazette no S.O. 1056(E) dated 6th March, 2023. Advanced understanding of fungalpathogen evolution through research on the horizontal transfer of the ToxA gene in Bipolaris sorokiniana in India through groundbreaking findings on inverse gene-gene relationships and effector-triggered susceptibility in wheat and Bipolaris sorokiniana interaction. Recognized as a member of the International expert working group on the control of wheat pathogens and pests (PandD) aswell as an expert working group on Breeding Methods and strategies (Breeding) by Wheat Initiative (Germany). Recognized internationally for scholarly impact, serving on editorial boards forreputable journals, namely BMC Plant Biology, Frontiers in Fungal Biology, Frontiers in Agronomy, and Frontiers in Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology for Fungal Pathogenesis and DiseaseManagement.

a high yield in high water, and nutrient inputs would also perform well in low-input, stressed, or marginal circumstances. To
select among multiple target environments and germplasm pools with varying component trait configurations, it is essential
to comprehend which RSA types function best in agricultural environments. Although stress adaptable traits—and the consistent
quantitative trait loci associated with them—are used to develop new cultivars, the physiological and genetic sources
of adaptation remain unknown. Plant selection, as a result, involves empirical methodologies such as multilocation testing
in representative ecosystems. Simultaneously, accurate identification of target locations allows genotype versus environment
interaction to be studied, providing input for breeding and research. Precision phenotyping methods, which have
used in breeding and gene identification, aid in the breakdown of yield into its physiological components. New traits and
genes must be identified—possibly among crop wild relatives or in model species—to allow cultivars to be buffered against
temporal variation in water supply, to adapt to higher temperatures without losing water-use efficiency, and to tolerate
sudden extreme climatic events or combinations of stress factors
