Journal Title：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, computational and synthetic plant biology, growth and development, photosynthesis and respiration, transport and translocation, plant-microbe interactions, 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. 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 confirmatory of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model as well as accepted model 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 (e.g. field conditions) not providing mechanistic insight will not be considered for publication.

The Journal of Plant Physiology publishes several types of articles: Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives Articles, and Short Communications. Reviews and Perspectives will be solicited by the Editors; unsolicited reviews are also welcome but only from authors with a strong track record in the field of the review. Original research papers comprise the majority of published contributions.

《植物生理学杂志》是一本广谱期刊，欢迎植物生理学所有主要领域的高质量投稿，包括植物生物化学、功能生物技术、计算和合成植物生物学、生长和发育、光合作用和呼吸作用、运输和易位、植物-微生物相互作用、生物和非生物胁迫。从分子和细胞到有机体及其环境，所有整合水平的研究都受到欢迎，并有望使用最先进的方法。纯基因表达研究不在我们期刊的重点范围内。要考虑发表，论文必须对生理过程的机制理解做出重大贡献，而不仅仅是描述性的，或对先前结果的确认。我们鼓励提交探索非模型以及公认模型物种的生理学以及连接基础研究和应用研究的论文。例如，对显示出提高农业效率的新生理机制的农业植物的研究是受欢迎的。在不受控制的情况下进行的研究（例如现场条件）不提供机械洞察力，将不被考虑发表。

《植物生理学杂志》发表了几种类型的文章：原创研究文章、评论、观点文章和短通讯。编辑将征求评论和观点；也欢迎未经请求的评论，但仅限于在评论领域具有良好记录的作者。原创研究论文占已发表贡献的大部分。
