Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on plant species biology, focusing on their ecology, evolution, and conservation. Studies investigate plant regeneration, genetic diversity, adaptation to environmental conditions such as snowfall and salinity, and interactions with other organisms like insects and ants. The research also explores plant responses to climate change and human disturbances, as well as the role of ploidy in plant evolution and fitness.
