The Plant Journal
Aims and Scope
Publishing the best original research papers in all key areas of modern plant biology from the world's leading laboratories, The Plant Journal provides a dynamic forum for this ever growing international research community.
Plant science research is now at the forefront of research in the biological sciences, with breakthroughs in our understanding of fundamental processes in plants matching those in other organisms. The impact of molecular genetics and the availability of model and crop species can be seen in all aspects of plant biology. For publication in The Plant Journal the research must provide a highly significant new contribution to our understanding of plants and be of general interest to the plant science community. All areas of plant biology are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be wide-ranging.
The Plant Journal's Special Issue: Techniques for Molecular Analysis 3
The Plant Journal is dedicated to publishing special 'methods' issues on techniques for molecular analysis. These issues are a collection of authoritative reviews on techniques of broad interest to the plant biology community, written as 'how-to' articles giving in-depth guidance and numerous practical tips.
The third special issue of Techniques for Molecular Analysis is now freely available to read online at Blackwell Synergy.
