Focus and Scope

American Journal of Botany and Bioengineering (AJBB)

American Journal of Botany and Bioengineering (AJBB) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research articles, reviews, and short communications at the interface of botanical sciences and bioengineering. The journal aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations and innovations that advance both fundamental understanding and practical applications of plant biology and engineering principles.

Scope of the Journal

AJBB welcomes manuscripts in, but not limited to, the following areas:

  1. Plant Biology, Agriculture and Physiology
    Studies on plant structure, function, growth, development, agricultural sciences, animal–plant interactions, and adaptation.

  2. Molecular and Cellular Botany
    Research on plant genetics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

  3. Plant Biotechnology
    Genetic engineering, CRISPR technology, tissue culture, and synthetic biology applied to plants.

  4. Environmental Botany and Stress Physiology
    Responses of plants to abiotic and biotic stresses, climate change, and ecological restoration.

  5. Agricultural and Crop Bioengineering
    Engineering approaches for improving crop productivity, sustainability, and resilience.

  6. Bioinformatics and Computational Botany
    Application of AI, modeling, big data analytics, and systems biology in botanical research.

  7. Bioprocess Engineering
    Bioengineering of plant-derived compounds, biopolymers, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and biofuels.

  8. Biomaterials from Plants
    Development, modification, and characterization of plant-based materials for industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications.

  9. Phytoremediation and Green Technologies
    Use of plants for environmental cleanup, carbon sequestration, and sustainable engineering solutions.

  10. Bionics and Plant-inspired Design
    Translational research involving biomimicry and bioinspired engineering using plant systems.

  11. Plant–Microbe Interactions
    Studies on symbiosis, endophytes, rhizosphere biology, and microbial engineering for plant health and productivity.

  12. Bioinorganic Plant Science
    Roles of inorganic elements, minerals, and nanomaterials in plant physiology, nutrition, stress adaptation, and bioengineering applications.

  13. Smart Agriculture and Digital Farming
    Integration of IoT, sensors, robotics, and precision engineering in crop management and sustainable agriculture.

  14. Agricultural Sciences, Food Science, Food Industries, and Animal Production

The journal encourages interdisciplinary submissions that explore the integration of botanical insights with engineering innovations to address global challenges in food security, environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and human health.
