 Aims & Scope |

Aims

Journal of Plant Biota [ISSN: 3048-4863 (Online)] is a peer-reviewed, international, scientific, open-access journal dedicated to advancing research in plant science. The journal publishes a broad spectrum of content, including review articles, original research papers, communications, and short notes, covering key areas such as structural, functional, and experimental botany. The journal welcomes contributions across fundamental disciplines — including plant morphology, systematics, physiology, and ecology — along with applied plant science, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the field.
Our primary objective is to provide a platform for scientists and research groups to share their theoretical insights and experimental findings in both basic and applied plant science. To uphold scientific rigor and ensure reproducibility, all submitted manuscripts undergo a thorough peer-review process conducted by experts in the respective fields. There are no restrictions on the maximum length of submitted manuscripts, allowing authors to present their work in full detail. Officially accepted articles are published promptly to ensure timely dissemination of research findings.

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.
