Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on plant breeding and genetics, focusing on improving crop traits such as yield, stress tolerance (drought, heat, salt, flooding), and disease resistance. It also covers plant physiology, molecular mechanisms of plant responses to environmental factors, and the development of sustainable agricultural practices, including the use of biochar, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, and biocontrol agents. Studies investigate genetic diversity, epigenetic regulation, and the impact of agricultural management on plant and soil health.
