Aims

Journal of Plant Biota  [ISSN:  3048-4863 (Online)] stands as an international scientific open access journal encompassing pivotal realms within plant science. It disseminates review articles, regular research papers, communications, and concise notes across structural, functional, and experimental botany. The journal extends its embrace to fundamental disciplines, including morphology, systematics, physiology, and ecology of plants, while also welcoming diverse articles in applied plant science.

Our primary objective is to foster a platform for scientists and research groups, encouraging the publication of theoretical and experimental findings in both fundamental and applied facets of plant science. We insist on the provision of complete experimental procedures to facilitate result reproducibility. There exists no constraint on the maximum length of submitted papers.

Scope

Journal covers the following interest areas and sub-areas in Journal of Plant Biota:
  1. Botany: The fundamental science of plant life, botany covers the study of plant structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, and chemical properties.
  2. Plant Ecology: This subject focuses on the relationships between plants and their environment, including interactions with other organisms. It covers topics like plant community dynamics, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions.
  3. Ethnobotany: The study of the relationship between people and plants, particularly how different cultures use plants for medicinal, culinary, and other purposes.
  4. Plant Physiology: This involves understanding the functioning of plant parts, including processes like photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, and hormone functions.
  5. Agronomy and Crop Science: The study of crops and the soils in which they grow, focusing on improving agricultural practices for food, fuel, fiber, and reclamation.
  6. Horticulture: The art and science of growing, improving, marketing, and using fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants.
  7. Plant Pathology: The study of plant diseases and the biological, environmental, and cultural factors that cause them.
  8. Plant Genetics and Breeding: Involving the study of plant heredity and variation, and applying this knowledge to develop new plant varieties.
  9. Conservation Biology: This focuses on the protection and restoration of plant biodiversity, addressing issues like habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change.
  10. Phytogeography: The study of the geographic distribution of plant species and plant communities.
  11. Paleobotany: The study of fossil plants and the reconstruction of ancient plant life, contributing to our understanding of evolution and past climates.
  12. Plant Biotechnology: The application of technology on plant life, including genetic modification, for the purpose of enhancing crop yield, nutritional value, and resistance to pests and diseases.
