Frontiers in Plant Science celebrates 10 years of publishing cutting-edge plant science research. Over the past 10 years, Frontiers in Plant Science has grown to cover 19 specialties spanning all aspects of botanical research, directed by a truly diverse range of Chief Editors. Plant science is fundamental for securing the future well-being of humankind. As the global population rises and the earth experiences more frequent extreme weather, we are challenged with food insecurity. A basic understanding of plant science is necessary to use and improve plants for sustainable food production and develop biofuels, biomaterials and pharmaceuticals.
Within the yet unlocked potential of plants lies the key to a sustainable future, and therefore Frontiers in Plant Science makes it its mission to publish high-quality interdisciplinary botanical research. We are not only highlighting fundamental research on crop physiology, genetics and cell biology but also linking it to technological advances, systems science and breeding. Over the past 10 years, we have seen technological breakthroughs in gene editing, automation, non-invasive imaging, and artificial intelligence. These breakthroughs coupled with knowledge of fundamental plant biology will allow real-time monitoring of plant health and improvement of agriculturally important traits to provide greater crop yields. Frontiers in Plant Science is proud to lead the way in publishing core research across all crop species. We will continue to connect fundamental and applied research over the next decade.
This Research Topic will provide a collection of perspectives on the state of plant science since the journal’s conception and Chief Editors’ visions for the future.
