Biography:
Pakhawat Pookhamsak (Ph.D. Candidate) in the School of Crop Production Technology, Institute of Agricultural Technology, Suranaree University Technology, Thailand. Currently, he is a Ph.D. Visiting Research Student at the University of Saskatchewan and Canadian Light Source, Canada. His research activities focused on molecular plant breeding for disease resistance and resistance mechanisms using synchrotron techniques. He has developed several new mungbean breeding lines that contain high yields and are resistant to powdery mildew and leaf spot diseases by using marker-assisted backcross breeding approach.
