aBIOTECH Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking

aBIOTECH (a) is a scholarly journal dedicated to publishing research in the field of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Published by Springer. The Print-ISSN to aBIOTECH is 2096-6326 and its abbreviation is aBIOTECH.

The aims of aBIOTECH, as a peer-reviewed journal, are two-fold: the first is to publish seminal articles, which then serve to focus the relevant research communities to achieve the development of superior agroecosystems, globally. Priority will be given to publication of articles presenting research findings having the potential to advance agricultural production through the development and application of novel biotechnology- and/or genome-based systems, to crop and animal breeding programs, and engineering of soil-microbiome agroecosystems. The second is to foster community engagement, at the regional, national, and international level, to include business, politics, and society, to foster appreciation for the capacity of modern agrobiotechnology/genomics-empowered strategies, for revolutionizing breeding programs, that have the capacity to ensure the availability of adequate nutritious foods to feed the growing global population. This aim will be accomplished by dialogue, presented as Front Matter in the journal, and through journal-sponsored activities, including workshops and training activities, public lectures, and outreach to researchers, educators, government bodies and companies.  

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

۰   TRANSGENE, GENOME EDITING TECHNOLOGIES & APPLICATIONS: Advanced transgene or genome editing technologies or methodologies; applications of transgene or genome editing in genetic improvement of agriculturally important traits, which otherwise are impossible by conventional breeding; commercialization of modified or gene-edited crops/livestock for agricultural production; safety and regulatory affairs/policies. ۰   METABOLIC ENGINEERING: Synthesis of bioactive natural products, including study of their metabolic networks and functions, using both genetic and synthetic biology approaches. ۰   TECHNOLOGIES FOR DISEASE CONTROL: Developmental, physiological, biochemical, and technological studies, and innovative strategies relevant to disease control in crop or livestock production systems. ۰   GENOMICS & BREEDING: Genome, pan-genome, and metagenome studies, multi-omics data mining approaches, intelligent design breeding theory, approaches, and practice, and innovative analytical/bioinformatics tools/methods, with potential to advance crop and livestock breeding programs. ۰   ROOT-SOIL-MICROBIOME AGROECOSYSTEMS: Targeted breeding and engineering of essential root biology and associated microbiome traits directed to enhance crop performance under sub-optimal soil abiotic and/or biotic conditions.
