Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on plant physiology, genetics, and ecology. Studies investigate plant responses to environmental stresses such as drought, cold, and salinity, as well as hormonal and biochemical mechanisms underlying these responses. Research also covers plant breeding, genetic variation, and the development of sustainable agricultural practices, including the use of biostimulants and optimized resource management. The journal examines plant metabolism, biosynthesis pathways, and the application of advanced technologies like remote sensing and bioinformatics for plant monitoring and analysis.
