Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- plant photosynthesis
- plant physiology
- plant development
- plant nutrition
- plant ecology
- plant molecular biology
- plant abiotic stress
- plant pathology
- plant-pathogens interaction
- plant environmental adaptability
- plant retrograde signaling
- plant bioreactor
- plant genomics
- plant mutli-omics
- plant single-cell and spatial multi-omics
- crop domestication
- crop yield traits
- heterosis
- molecular breeding
- Rhizosphere microbiome
- transgenic and gene editing
