Aims & Scope

Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany is an international journal that publishes original and exciting research across all aspects of plant science. We seek submissions that provide key insights into the origins, growth, development, and function of plants—spanning molecular mechanisms to whole organisms and their interactions with biotic and abiotic environments. Our scope encompasses fundamental disciplines such as plant physiology, biochemistry, ecology, and evolution, as well as interdisciplinary fields including metabolism, environmental physiology, and bioinformatics. We also welcome applied research on key plant systems, such as horticultural and medicinal plants.

Phyton-IJEB champions an integrative and interdisciplinary research paradigm. We actively seek studies that combine diverse methodologies—from classical experiments to computational modeling and theoretical frameworks—to address complex biological questions. The journal encourages the synthesis of insights from molecular biology, omics technologies, bioinformatics, physiology, ecology, and environmental science to investigate plant processes across multiple scales. This integrative approach is central to our mission of advancing a comprehensive, systems-level understanding of plant systems.

Phyton-IJEB’s target readership includes scientists, researchers, and graduate students in all basic and applied fields of plant science. Manuscripts submitted must not be under consideration elsewhere or have been previously published, in part or in whole.
