英文简介：

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. 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 of the journal 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 plant genetic diversity without any relevant biological information, cell culture and/or transformation of plant species (or closely related species) already established in the literature and basic transcriptomic approaches with no further relevant functional characterization of genes of interest.

植物科学将发布最低的时候,研究手稿以及委托推荐的评论和评论裁判在各领域的广泛领域的重点实验植物生物学基因组学、蛋白质组学、生物化学(包括酶学)、生理学、细胞生物学、开发、遗传学、功能植物育种、系统生物学和植物与环境之间的交互。 充分审议的稿件应简明扼要，基本上作为最后报告。出版的主要标准是，手稿必须包含原创的和重要的见解，导致更好地理解基本植物生物学。以植物细胞培养为中心的论文应该引起广泛的读者的兴趣，所采用的方法比现有的技术和方法有很大的改进。方法论文只有在描述的技术是新颖的或对已建立的协议提供了重大进展时才受欢迎。 植物科学不是一种用于初步观察的出版工具，也不是一种只对在其他植物系统中完成的结果进行确认的研究，或只针对特定读者的研究。提交的描述初步性质研究的手稿，仅在范围上是确定的，或对期刊的一般读者兴趣有限，将在没有正式审查的情况下退回。作为一般政策,《华尔街日报》将不再考虑手稿描述了克隆,测序的基因序列和表达模式识别和特征在其他植物物种,表达的蛋白质没有适当的重组产品的特征和形式,本土的隔离、酶的纯化和表征广泛分析了其他的植物,分子标记和植物遗传多样性的描述，没有任何相关的生物学信息，细胞培养和/或已经在文献中建立的植物物种(或密切相关的物种)的转化和基本转录组学方法，没有进一步相关的功能描述感兴趣的基因。
