JOURNAL OF PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

The Journal of Plant Physiology is a broad-spectrum journal that welcomes high-quality submissions in all major areas of plant physiology, including plant biochemistry, functional biotechnology and molecular biology: growth and developmentphotosynthesis and respiration, metabolic pathways, transport and translocation, and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Studies are welcome at all levels of integration ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and their environments and are expected to use state-of-the-art methodologies. Therefore pure gene expression studies are not within the focus of our journal. To be considered for publication, papers must significantly contribute to the mechanistic understanding of physiological processes, and not be merely descriptive, or confirmative of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model species as well as accepted models species and those that bridge basic and applied research. For instance, studies on agricultural plants that show new physiological mechanisms to improve agricultural efficiency are welcome. Studies performed under uncontrolled situations (field conditions) will not be considered for publication.

《植物生理学杂志》是一本广谱杂志，欢迎在植物生理学的所有主要领域提交高质量的论文，包括植物生物化学、功能生物技术和分子生物学:生长和发育、光合和呼吸、代谢途径、运输和易位，以及植物对生物和非生物胁迫的反应。从分子和细胞到生物体及其环境的各个层次的整合都欢迎进行研究，预计将使用最先进的方法。因此，纯基因表达的研究并不是我们杂志的重点。为了考虑发表，论文必须对生理过程的机械性理解做出重大贡献，而不仅仅是描述或证实先前的结果。我们鼓励提交研究非模型物种、已被接受的模型物种以及连接基础研究和应用研究的模型物种生理学的论文。例如，对农业植物的研究表明了提高农业效率的新的生理机制是受欢迎的。在不受控制的情况(实地条件)下进行的研究将不予考虑出版。
