Plant Biology focuses on plant physiology, genetics, and ecological interactions. Research investigates plant responses to environmental stresses such as nutrient deficiency, salinity, and heat. Studies also explore plant-pollinator relationships, nutrient cycling, and the impact of biological invasions on plant communities. The journal examines plant development, morphology, and the biochemical basis of traits like fragrance and defense mechanisms.
