Tropical Plant Biology investigates areas of study like Gene, Genetics, Botany, Genome and Biotechnology. The journal concentrates on Gene topics that focus on Gene family, Gene expression, Transcriptome, Arabidopsis and Transcription factor. The research on Gene family featured in it combines topics in other fields like Gene duplication and Saccharum spontaneum.
Genetics studies presented in Tropical Plant Biology focus on topics such as Phylogenetic tree, Candidate gene, DNA sequencing, Promoter and Locus (genetics). The work on Botany tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Genetic diversity and Horticulture. While Tropical Plant Biology focused on Genetic diversity, it was also able to explore topics like Ecology, Microsatellite, Germplasm and Genetic variation.
The concepts on Genome presented in Tropical Plant Biology can also apply to other research fields, including Ploidy and Intron. The journal explores topics in Biotechnology which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Crop and Plant breeding. Many of the studies tackled connect Plant ecology with a similar field of study like Agronomy.
The journal articles mostly deal with topics like Genetics, Crop, Gene, Genome and Agronomy. The published papers with studies in Genetics featured incorporate elements of Computational biology and Identification (biology). The studies on Crop discussed at the journal articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Starch, Biotechnology, Staple food, Plant breeding and Abiotic stress.
Tropical Plant Biology mainly deals with areas of study such as Gene, Genetics, Genome, Gene family and Transcriptome. Topics in Genome were tackled in line with various other fields like Homeobox, Musa acuminata, Promoter, Subfamily and Abiotic stress. Tropical Plant Biology explores research in Exon and overlapping concepts in Plant evolution, Oleic acid and Saccharum spontaneum to expand the discourse in Gene family.
The subject of Cultivar, which is connected to the field of Fusarium wilt, Metabolic pathway, Phenylpropanoid and Fusarium oxysporum, serves as the foundation of the Transcriptome research featured in the journal. While the primary focus in Tropical Plant Biology is Transcription (biology), it also dissects topics surrounding Peroxidase and Crop and Horticulture as a whole. In it, Germplasm, Biotechnology, Domestication, Adaptation and Selective breeding are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Crop research.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Tropical Plant Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Tropical Plant Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 13.89% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 41.94% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 22.58% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.23% of all publications and 32.26% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring Plant Science and Agronomy opens doors to diverse career paths in agriculture, food production, and environmental management. Many students complement their studies with related fields such as nutrition and dietetics to broaden their expertise and increase employability.
For those interested in healthcare and specialized nutrition roles, pursuing programs like dnp fnp programs provides advanced clinical training. Meanwhile, online degrees open flexible learning options for busy students balancing work and study.
If you want to focus more on food science and dietary impacts on health, an online masters degree in nutrition offers comprehensive knowledge in nutrient management and public health.
Undergraduate students might consider pursuing an online nutritionist degree to gain foundational skills that support careers in wellness, food safety, and agricultural product development.
For those aiming to become certified nutrition experts, enrolling in online registered dietitian programs presents an affordable pathway to licensure and professional practice.
These interconnected fields highlight the importance of interdisciplinary study, enabling graduates to tackle food security, sustainability, and health challenges holistically.
