STRATI Journal of Agricultural Biotechnology

The journal aims to:

• Promote high-quality research and innovation in agricultural biotechnology.
• Facilitate the development and dissemination of biotechnological tools that improve crop and livestock production.
• Support studies focused on genetic improvement, pest and disease management, and stress tolerance using biotechnological approaches.
• Encourage interdisciplinary research linking biotechnology with sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation.
• Provide a forum for discussions on ethical, regulatory, and socio-economic aspects of agricultural biotechnology.

The scope includes but is not limited to:

• Genetic engineering and genome editing of crops and livestock.
• Molecular marker-assisted breeding and genomics.
• Plant tissue culture, micropropagation, and cloning.
• Bioinformatics and computational biology applications in agriculture.
• Biopesticides, biofertilizers, and microbial biotechnology.
• Transgenic crops and trait improvement.
• Abiotic and biotic stress management using biotech tools.
• Ethical, legal, and social implications of agricultural biotechnology.
