Declining or Waning
- Traditional Propagation Methods:
There has been a noticeable decline in research focused on traditional propagation techniques, such as seed propagation and cuttings, as more emphasis is placed on advanced in vitro methods. - Natural Plant Interactions:
Studies exploring natural interactions between plants and their environments, such as symbiotic relationships and ecological propagation strategies, appear to be waning, possibly due to the increasing interest in controlled propagation environments. - Low-Tech Propagation Strategies:
Research involving low-tech or non-scientific propagation methods has diminished, as the journal increasingly emphasizes high-tech solutions and scientific approaches to plant propagation.
