Plant Sciences (PSC)

Section Information

Plant Sciences focus on the biology, physiology, genetics, ecology, and biotechnology of plants. The field studies plant growth, development, reproduction, and responses to environmental factors to improve crop productivity, sustainability, and ecosystem resilience.

Current research includes plant molecular biology, plant–microbe interactions, stress physiology, crop improvement, plant breeding, and climate adaptation strategies. Advances in genomics, gene editing, phenotyping technologies, and precision agriculture are accelerating innovation in plant research.

This section publishes laboratory investigations, field studies, genetic analyses, ecological research, and review articles related to plant biology and applied plant science.
