Mohamad Fadhli bin Mad' Atari, Dr

Research background

His first research interest is strawberry plant tissue culture. It was extended during his MSc and PhD for diploid strawberry cv 5AF7 as a model for Rosaceae functional genomics. He expands his interest in "Coffee arabica" cv. Kahwa coffee & "Eurycoma longifolia" also known as "Tongkat Ali". He also developed an LED panel array to manipulate the photomorphogenesis in the mentioned plants.

Research focus

Photomorphogenesis, Plant Growth and Development, Photochemistry
