The field of plant molecular biology has experienced remarkable growth in recent decades, contributed by significant milestones such as the recognition of Arabidopsis thaliana as a universal plant model, the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative in 2000 (The Arabidopsis Genome, 2000), and the 1001 Genome Initiative in 2016 (Alonso-Blanco et al., 2016). The assembly of the Arabidopsis […]

It is generally observed that the concept of “Research Leadership” is not well-defined in clear and concise terms in literature. There is a consensus that distinct guidelines and training for research leaders are not well delineated, as stated by Saltmarsh, 2011 regarding the definition of governance systems. The United Nations defines a developed or industrialized […]
