Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Current Plant Biology focuses on plant responses to environmental stresses, including abiotic factors like salinity, drought, and heat, and their impact on agricultural productivity and food security. The journal also covers plant genetics, molecular mechanisms of stress adaptation, and the enhancement of secondary metabolite production for bioactives and medicinal purposes. Research includes multi-omics approaches, genetic engineering, and the application of advanced technologies like AI and nanoparticles in plant science.
