Journal Title：Plant Science

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 将在最短的时间内发表其审稿人推荐的所有实验植物生物学领域的研究手稿以及委托审查和评论，重点是基因组学、蛋白质组学、生物化学（包括酶学）等广泛领域，生理学、细胞生物学、发育、遗传学、功能性植物育种、系统生物学以及植物与环境的相互作用。

供全面考虑的手稿应简明扼要，基本上作为最终报告。出版的主要标准是手稿必须包含原创和重要的见解，从而更好地理解基础植物生物学。以植物细胞培养为中心的论文应该引起广大读者的兴趣，所采用的方法可以大大改进现有的既定技术和方法。仅当所描述的技术是新颖的或提供已建立协议的重大进步时，才欢迎方法论文。
