Plant Genetic Resources: Characterisation and Utilisation

Aims & Scope

Plant Genetic Resources is an international journal which provides a forum for describing the application of novel genomic technologies, as well as their integration with established techniques, towards the understanding of the genetic variation captured in both in situ and ex situ collections of crop and non-crop plants; and for the airing of wider issues relevant to plant germplasm conservation and utilisation.

We particularly welcome multi-disciplinary approaches that incorporate both a technical and a socio-economic focus.

Technical aspects can cover developments in technologies of potential or demonstrated relevance to the analysis of variation and diversity at the phenotypic and genotypic levels.
