Declining or Waning

While the Egyptian Journal of Botany continues to cover a broad spectrum of plant science topics, certain areas of research have shown a decline in frequency or prominence over recent years. This may reflect shifting research priorities or emerging interests in the field.
  1. Traditional Taxonomy and Plant Systematics:
    There appears to be a waning focus on classical plant taxonomy and systematic studies, potentially due to the increasing reliance on molecular techniques for species identification and phylogenetic studies.
  2. Conventional Breeding Techniques:
    Research centered on traditional breeding methods is becoming less prominent as biotechnological advancements and molecular approaches gain more traction in crop improvement.
  3. Agronomy of Non-Economic Plants:
    Studies related to the agronomy of lesser-known or non-economic plants are decreasing, possibly overshadowed by research focused on commercially important species.
  4. Plant Pathology Focused on Non-Pathogenic Species:
    Research centered on the pathology of non-pathogenic species is declining, as the journal trends towards addressing more impactful plant diseases and pests that threaten agricultural productivity.
