Phytochemistry

Aims & Scope

Phytochemistry is a leading international journal publishing studies of plant chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, structure and bioactivities of phytochemicals, including '-omics' and bioinformatics/computational biology approaches.

Phytochemistry is a primary source for papers dealing with phytochemicals, especially reports concerning their biosynthesis, regulation, and biological properties both in planta and as bioactive principles.

Articles are published online as soon as possible as Articles-in-Press and in 12 volumes per year.

Occasional topic-focussed special issues are published composed of papers from invited authors.
