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.
