The aim of this study was to identify changes in the research trends and publishing patterns of the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) scientists in the area of Agronomy, in response to the new challenges and opportunities arising from the continuing advances made in Plant Biotechnology. CSIC research output in the areas of Agronomy and Plant Biotechnology, published in SCI and ICYT journals between 1996 and 2005, was analysed. The results show that the CSIC is an important generator of knowledge in the field of Agronomy, having contributed 40% of the total Spanish scientific output in this field recorded in SCI journals over the studied period. The corresponding percentage of publications in the field of Plant Biotechnology was less than 20% in 2005.
