Habibur Rahman is a Professor in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on plant genetics and breeding, particularly in canola, addressing aspects such as the development of canola germplasm to meet present and future demands from producers for increased seed and oil yield, agronomy, disease resistance, and improved seed oil meal quality. He applies conventional breeding methods, molecular markers, genomics, and biotechnology, including cell and tissue culture, to broaden the genetic base of canola and introgress disease resistance traits through wide hybridization methodologies. Rahman has taught several courses including Genetic Improvement of Crop Plants and Plant Breeding, and has contributed significantly to the field through numerous publications involving the genetic mapping and improvement of various traits in canola and related species. His work demonstrates a commitment to advancing agricultural practices that enhance crop resilience and yield under changing environmental conditions.
