Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on plant interactions with their environment, including responses to abiotic stresses like heat, drought, salinity, and heavy metals. It also covers plant interactions with biotic factors such as microbes, pathogens, and pests, and explores strategies for enhancing plant resilience through breeding, microbiome engineering, and nanotechnology. Research includes plant physiology, genetics, and molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions.
