This journal focuses on plant biology, particularly concerning seed development, dormancy, and germination. It also covers genetic regulation of plant traits such as flowering time, pigment biosynthesis, and grain quality. The scope extends to plant responses to environmental stresses like heat and drought, and the role of plant hormones and peptide signaling in development and adaptation. Additionally, it addresses advancements in gene editing technologies and the application of nanotechnology in agriculture.
