Harsh Yadav

Harsh Yadav is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, affiliated with the Section for Molecular Plant Biology at Thorvaldsensvej 40, Frederiksberg C.

His research spans Plant Biology, Molecular Plant Biology, and Crop Domestication, focusing on leveraging wild Solanum species for de novo domestication of future crops. This work integrates Botany and Plant Genetics to address agricultural challenges through Wild Plant Species characterization, particularly tuber-bearing plants like potato.

Dr. Yadav's research trend centers on sustainable crop development, exemplified by his 2025 Journal of Experimental Botany publication analyzing wild potato species. This work demonstrates a strategic shift toward utilizing untapped genetic diversity for climate-resilient agriculture, moving beyond traditional breeding approaches.
