Plant Physiology and Biochemistry

Aims & Scope

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental).

Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors' agreement.

Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB.

Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered.

Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers.

Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor's prior agreement.

Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages.

The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
