Aims & Scope

Plant Biotechnology Reports is a peer-reviewed journal emphasizing fundamental and applied research in plant biotechnology. Offers comprehensive coverage extending to molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, and more. Prioritizes studies on plants indigenous to the Asia-Pacific region. Encourages studies related to commercialization of plant biotechnology. Does not exclude studies on lower plants such as algae and cyanobacteria.
