Seeds | Highly Cited Papers Published in 2023–2024
Seeds (ISSN: 2674-1024) is an international open access scientific journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to seed science, technology, and biology. Seed science is a broad area that covers a range of topics, from more biological-related aspects (physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, dormancy, and omics) to technological approaches (seed priming, seed production, and seed establishment, among others). It publishes review articles, regular research articles, communications, and short notes.
