Designation: Laboratory of Biology and Physiology of Organisms, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University Houari Boumediene of Sciences and and Technology (Algiers) Country: Algeria Short biography: Professor Réda Djebbar is a teacher since 1984 and Director of research at the Houari Boumediene University of Science and Technology (Algiers, Algeria). He is team leader of Plant Physiology belonging to the Laboratory of Biology and Physiology of Organisms attached to the Faculty of Biological Sciences. He obtained his doctorate in 2012 and was promoted to Professor in 2018. He is interested in the following topics: plant biotechnologies, plant responses to abiotic stress and oxidative stress, germination and priming of seeds. He has to his credit around fifty scientific articles, several participations in international scientific meetings and the supervision and defense of twelve doctoral thesis.

Dr. Othmane Merah is an associate professor at the University of Toulouse Paul Sabatier as a teacher and researcher at the Laboratory of Agroindustrial Chemistry (Institut National Polytechnique, Toulouse, France). After obtaining a degree in engineering in agronomic sciences from the National Agronomic School of Rennes (France) and the University of Blida (Algeria), he completed his PhD at the Institute of Plant Biotechnology (Paris XI University) and the National Institute for Agronomic Research (Montpellier), and his Habilitation Diploma for supervising doctoral research at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse. He investigates genetic and morpho-physiological diversity in cereals, oilseed, and aromatic plants. His research program is focused on studying the physiology and genetics of drought tolerance in cereals and oilseed crops under conventional and organic conditions. He is a crop scientist and agronomist with a wide range of experience in large-scale research programs, and he has led multidisciplinary and international collaboration projects. He is the author of over 160 publications, and he is an editorial and/or advisory board member of several journals in agronomy. He has attended many international congresses and symposiums. He has participated in the development of three cultivars of brown mustard in Burgundy (France) for the famous “Moutarde de Dijon” condiment. He was the scientific referent for the genetic program of the mustard network in Burgundy.
