Summary
Plant science has an important part to play in meeting the global food security challenges plants are the primary food producer for humans and animals. The world’s food production will need to increase dramatically to match the predicted population growth. Achieving this goal will be very challenging due to the decreased availability of arable land and various stress factors. It is expected to rise, given the current trends in climate change. Considering this facts plant biologists have been working hard to address these issues and improving the plant productivity using various approaches. The fields of agronomy, plant breeding, plant protection, and plant physiology employed various approaches towards climate-resilient crop varieties with higher productivity. Significant improvement has been made in the area of plant molecular biology and biotechnology.
In this special issue, we aimed at accumulating the recent progress in plant biology research. Articles on recent advances in plant biology (original research papers, short communications, reviews, mini-reviews) are welcome. The scope of this Special Issue covers the entire range of pure and applied plant biology. However, some of the broad topics are as follows:
● Plant Cell Physiology
● Plant Genetics and Breeding
● Plant Stress Physiology
● Plant Omics
● Plant Signaling
● Plant Biotechnology
● Plant Molecular Biology
● Plant Biochemistry and Metabolism
