Author information Manuscripts should be sent to:
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, manuscripts recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in thebroad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics and molecular biology. Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criteria for publication is that the manuscript must contain new and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of some aspect 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 if the technique is novel or provides a major advancement of an established protocol. Plant Science is not a publication vehicle for preliminary observations, for studies that are merely confirmatory of results accomplished in other plant systems, or that are addressed only to a specialized readership. Submitted manuscripts describing studies of preliminary nature, that are merely confirmatory in scope or of limited scope and interest to the general readership will be returned without formal review. As a general policy, the journal will no longer consider manuscripts just describing the cloning, sequencing and expression patterns of gene sequences that have been identified and characterized in other plant species, expression of a protein without proper characterization of the recombinant product and native form, the isolation, purification and characterization of enzymes extensively analyzed in other plants, description of molecular markers and diversity without any biological information, and cell culture and/or transformation of plant species (or closely related species) already established in the literature. The following examples of areas covered by Plant Science are not exhaustive; original work of high quality in any area of experimental plant biology, broadly construed, will be welcome. Examples of areas covered by PLANT SCIENCE: Biotechnology Cell and Tissue Culture, protoplasts, cell fusion Cell organelles including development of plastids and mitochondria, cell walls Cellular and Molecular Genetics Enzymology and Intermediary Metabolism Inorganic Metabolism including nitrate reduction, nitrogen fixation, sulfur metabolism,other macro and micro elements Molecular biology of plant cells Nucleic acids, proteins, and their metabolism Nucleocytoplasmic interactions CHIEF EDITORS:
Photosynthesis, respiration and carbon metabolism Phytochemistry and secondary plant products Pigments, including Biochemistry, Metabolism and Biosynthesis of Chlorophylls, Anthocyanins, etc. Plant pathology Plant defense mechanisms Plant-microbe interactions Stress reactions Regulation of growth, development and differentiation Ultrastructure and cellular fractionation Viruses Water relations, transport of solutes, etc.
