The research primarily focuses on basic and fundamental aspects with broad international and disciplinary interests, including, but are not limited to, genetics, breeding, all types of "-omics" and evolution, origination and domestication horticultural crops, biotechnology, biochemistry, physiology, cellular and molecular biology, and environmental biology including interactions with other organisms.

Original research articles will be published in the following headings:

genetics, breeding and germplasm;

biotechnology and genetic engineering;

genomics, proteomics and evolution;

whole plant physiology and source/sink relation;

cellular and molecular developmental biology;
