Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology

Aims & Scope

The CBAB – CROP BREEDING AND APPLIED BIOTECHNOLOGY (ISSN 1984-7033) – is the official quarterly journal of the Brazilian Society of Plant Breeding, abbreviated CROP BREED APPL BIOTECHNOL.

It publishes original scientific articles, which contribute to the scientific and technological development of plant breeding and agriculture.

Articles should be to do with basic and applied research on improvement of perennial and annual plants, within the fields of genetics, conservation of germplasm, biotechnology, genomics, cytogenetics, experimental statistics, seeds, food quality, biotic and abiotic stress, and correlated areas.

The article must be unpublished.

Simultaneous submitting to another periodical is ruled out.

Authors are held solely responsible for the opinions and ideas expressed, which do not necessarily reflect the view of the Editorial board.

However, the Editorial board reserves the right to suggest or ask for any modifications required.
