  2. Plant Biology and Agricultural Science:
    Investigations into plant physiology, genetics, and cultivation practices aimed at improving crop yield and resilience, including studies on seed germination, plant regeneration, and the effects of various treatments on plant growth.
  3. Microbiology and Biochemistry:
    Studies exploring microbial diversity, antimicrobial properties, and biochemical processes, emphasizing applications in health, agriculture, and environmental remediation.
  4. Phytochemistry and Natural Products:
    Research on the chemical composition of plants and their extracts, focusing on their therapeutic potentials, including antioxidant and anticancer activities.
  5. Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering:
    Application of biotechnological techniques in agriculture and health, including genetic transformation, molecular characterization, and bioprospecting for novel compounds.
'Applied Biological Research' has seen the emergence of several new themes reflecting current global challenges and scientific advancements. These trending areas highlight the journal's responsiveness to contemporary issues in biology and their applications.
  1. Climate Change Resilience in Agriculture:
    Research addressing the impacts of climate change on crop production and strategies for enhancing resilience, such as nutrient-specific modulation and use of biostimulants.
  2. Health and Disease Management:
    An increase in studies focusing on the health impacts of various substances, including antimicrobial resistance and the potential therapeutic effects of natural compounds.
  3. Sustainable Practices and Environmental Remediation:
    Growing interest in bioremediation, phytoremediation, and the use of bio-control agents to manage pests and diseases sustainably.

  5. Microbiome Studies:
    An upward trend in research examining the role of microbiomes in health, agriculture, and ecosystems, reflecting a broader interest in microbial interactions and their implications.

Declining or Waning

In recent years, certain themes within 'Applied Biological Research' have shown a decline in publication frequency. These waning scopes indicate a shift in research interest or a saturation of knowledge in those areas.
  1. Traditional Ethnobotany:
    Research focusing on traditional medicinal uses of plants has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more empirical and experimental approaches in plant studies.
  2. Conventional Agricultural Practices:
    Studies centered on traditional agricultural methods are becoming less common as more researchers explore sustainable practices and innovations in agriculture.
  3. Basic Ecological Surveys:
    While biodiversity is still a focus, basic ecological surveys without applied outcomes are less prevalent, indicating a move towards more applied ecological research.
