Masayuki Fujita is a Professor in the Laboratory of Plant Stress Responses, Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Kagawa, Japan. He received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Shizuoka University, Shizuoka, and M.Agr. and Ph.D. in plant biochemistry from Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan. His research interests include physiological, biochemical, and molecular biological responses based on secondary metabolism in plants under various abiotic and biotic stresses; phytoalexin, cytochrome P450, glutathione S -transferase, and phytochelatin; and redox reaction and antioxidants. In the last decade his works were focused on oxidative stress and antioxidant defense in plants under environmental stress. His group investigates the role of different exogenous protectants in enhancing antioxidant defense and methylglyoxal detoxification systems in plants. He has supervised 4 M.S. students and 13 PhD students as main supervisor. He has about 150 publications in journal and books and has edited 4 books.

Barbara Hawrylak-Nowak is currently Associate Professor at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland. She earned her Master's degree in Biology (specialization: environmental biology) at the Department of Plant Physiology at Maria Curie-Skodowska University, in 2000. In the same year, she started doctoral studies at the Department of Plant Physiology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Barbara joined the team headed by Professor Maria Szymaska, which was focused on the biological activity of trace elements and mitigation of the effects of abiotic stress in crop plants. In 2002, she earned her Master's degree in Biotechnology at the Department of Molecular Biology, Maria Curie-Skodowska University. She was granted the PhD degree in Agricultural Sciences in the field of Horticulture (specialization: plant physiology) in 2004. In her thesis, she pioneered investigations of the substrate pH-dependent biological activity of three chemical forms of selenium (selenite, selenate, and selenomethionine) in three crop plant species. After completion of her PhD, Barbara accepted a position of Assistant Professor at the Department of Plant Physiology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, where she worked for 13 years. During that time, she focused in particular on issues related to the application of trace elements and other phytoprotectants in mitigation of the impact of unfavourable environmental factors on plants, mineral nutrition of plants and ecological investigations. In 2017, Barbara was promoted to an Associate Professor position at the Department of Plant Physiology, University of Life Sciences in Lublin, where she has been working since that time. She also became the Head of this Department. Her teaching activity includes obligatory and facultative courses (lectures, laboratories) e.g. Plant physiology, Non-infectious plant diseases, Plant under stress conditions, Biological adap…
