Abstract
This editorial defines the core mission, academic orientation, and six interrelated thematic pillars of Journal of Plant Electrobiology (JPE), which is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing the interdisciplinary fusion of electronics, bioenergetics, biophysics, and plant science. JPE aims to showcase innovative researches that leverage electronic principles and technologies to address fundamental and applied questions in plant biology, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and accelerate the translation of plant electrobiology breakthroughs into solutions for sustainable agriculture, plant stress resilience, and environmental stewardship. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in precision sensing, computational modeling, and nanotechnology, plant electrobiology has evolved from scattered observations to a systematic discipline. The superposition of the aforementioned technologies and models transforms the "invisible" plant electrical signals into "computable and applicable" phenotypic data. This upgrades electrical signals from mere "oscilloscope curves" to "high-throughput digital phenotypes", enhancing both the precision and continuity of plant trait detection. Consequently, this advancement propels plant electrobiology into an era of systems science and in-situ precise detection. These methodological and technical advances lay the foundation for JPE’s thematic framework and drive the field’s practical impact.
