Botanica Pacifica

Aims & Scope

Botanica Pacifica (BP) publishes peer-reviewed, significant research of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology (structure, function, development, diversity, genetics, evolution, systematics), all levels of organization (molecular to ecosystem), and all plant groups and allied organisms (cyanobacteria, fungi, and lichens).

BP requires authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of contemporary problems of plant biology.

While the geographic focus of the journal is the Pacific region, research submissions that demonstrate clear linkages with other regions are welcome.

BP aims to foster the exchange of research ideas between countries with diverse cultures and languages.
