This journal publishes research on the biological mechanisms underlying various physiological processes, including the interaction between trace elements and gut microbiota, plant-pathogen interactions, genetic factors influencing animal growth, evolutionary adaptations in parthenogenetic organisms, and the role of specific genes and proteins in cellular functions. It also covers studies on environmental impacts on ecosystems, such as greenhouse gas emissions from soils and wetlands, and the effects of light on aquatic organisms. Additionally, the journal features research on conservation strategies for vulnerable species, advancements in biotechnology for producing valuable compounds, and the nutritional quality of aquaculture species.
