Aims & Scope

Tropical Plant Biology publishes research on tropical plant science, including development, physiology, evolution, phylogenomics, genetics, cellular and molecular biology, genomics, ecological genomics, and molecular breeding. The journal is strictly on the biology of tropical plants . We do not publish research on temperate climate plants; crop production and management (e.g., fertilization, irrigation, seed germination); plant pathology and entomology, unless focused on biological interactions or resistance mechanisms.
