Emerging studies utilize biotechnological methods, such as tissue culture and genetic engineering, to enhance the propagation and quality of ornamental plants, indicating a trend towards innovation. - Stress Management in Ornamental Plants:
Increasing attention is being given to understanding how ornamental plants respond to abiotic stresses (like salinity and drought) and how to mitigate these effects through various treatments. - Integration of Technology in Horticulture:
Research is trending towards the application of technologies such as artificial intelligence and sensor systems for monitoring plant health and optimizing growth conditions. - Consumer Behavior and Market Analysis:
Emerging studies focus on understanding consumer preferences and market dynamics in the ornamental plant sector, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and changing consumer behaviors.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Breeding Techniques:
Research on conventional breeding methods appears to be declining as more emphasis is placed on biotechnological approaches and genetic engineering for plant improvement. - Generalized Ethnobotanical Studies:
While ethnobotanical studies remain important, there is a noted shift from broad ethnobotanical surveys to more specific investigations that focus on practical applications and management strategies. - Basic Morphological Studies:
Basic studies focusing solely on morphological traits without linking them to physiological or biochemical implications are becoming less common, as researchers aim for more integrative approaches. - Historical and Descriptive Research:
The journal seems to be moving away from purely historical or descriptive studies of ornamental plants in favor of research that offers direct applications or innovative solutions to current challenges.
