 An international journal of experimental plant biology
Editors-in-Chief:

Description
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, manuscripts 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 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 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 diversity without any biological information, and cell culture and/or transformation of
plant species (or closely related species) already established in the literature.
