Plant Science

Aims & Scope

Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment.

Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report.

The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology.

Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches.

Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
