Over the course of human history, plants have received widespread and occasionally
dominant aesthetic and intellectual attention. Research of plant systems can also
instruct us on how to handle issues with agriculture, human health, and the
environment. The NBU Journal of Plant Sciences (NBUJPS) is an international
peer-reviewed journal that has been published by the Department of Botany,
University of North Bengal, since 2007. It gives the platform for publishing
top-notch research on a variety of topics in plant science, animal-plant
interactions, environment and ecology, and the evolution of the living world.
The journal's editorial board publishes high-calibre articles in print and online
(https://njps.nbu.ac.in/) in one volume each year.
The NBUJPS has officially registered for membership in CrossRef. All the articles
will be assigned unique DOI numbers and will include other CrossRef services like
similarity checking and reference linking. It gives me extreme pleasure to inform
you that the NBUJPS publishes all the articles free of charge.
We are delighted to inform you that volume 14 has been published and will have 11 articles
including review and research papers. This volume includes articles on nanotechnology, growth
performance, characterization and ecology of various crops and weeds, phytoremediation of
diseases and stresses in various crops, and microbes in extreme climates. These articles
were contributed by numerous senior professors, scientists, and junior researchers from
various institutions. The articles in this issue cover a wide spectrum of recent advancements
in both basic and applied fields of plant science research, and they are all very important.
Regarding contemporary breakthroughs and need-based research, this volume will greatly benefit
all scientists and researchers working in various sectors of plant sciences.
