Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology (HEB)
Journal Descriptions
Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology is an international, peer‑reviewed scientific journal dedicated to research in the interdisciplinary fields of horticultural science, plant biology, environmental interactions, and biotechnological applications. Officially published for the Korean Society for Horticultural Science, the journal serves as a key platform for original research articles, comprehensive review papers, and innovative studies that advance knowledge in plant physiology, molecular biology, genetics and breeding, postharvest technologies, sustainable cultivation, environmental stress responses in plants, and biotechnology related to horticultural crops. Launched in 2011 under its current title, it continues the legacy of earlier publications of the Korean Society for Horticultural Science dating back to 1965, reflecting decades of scholarly contributions. The journal supports a hybrid publishing model, allowing authors to opt for open‑access publication. It is abstracted and indexed in major scientific databases including Scopus and the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). With its high academic standards and global editorial board, the journal attracts submissions from researchers worldwide, fostering cross‑disciplinary collaboration and the exchange of advances that contribute toward sustainable horticultural practices and innovations in plant science. Regular features include research on environmental influences on plant growth, advanced biotechnological techniques, and horticultural improvement strategies.
