Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on plant biology, focusing on genetics, physiology, and cultivation of various plant species. Articles investigate methods for improving plant identification, germination, growth, and yield through genetic analysis, application of biostimulants, and optimized cultivation techniques. Research also explores plant responses to environmental stresses, disease resistance mechanisms, and the role of microorganisms in plant adaptation. Additionally, the journal covers plant reproductive biology and the potential of epigenetic modifications for enhancing plant traits.
