Journal Title：Applications In Plant Sciences

Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany's online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.

APPS publishes the following types of articles: (1) Protocol Notes describe new methods and technological advancements; (2) Genomic Resources Articles characterize the development and demonstrate the usefulness of newly developed genomic resources, including transcriptomes; (3) Software Notes detail new software applications; (4) Application Articles illustrate the application of a new protocol, method, or software application within the context of a larger study; (5) Review Articles evaluate available techniques, methods, or protocols; (6) Primer Notes report novel genetic markers with evidence of wide applicability.

Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) 是一份经过同行评审的开放获取月刊，旨在促进植物科学所有领域（包括遗传学、结构、功能、发育、进化、系统学和生态学。鉴于当今技术及其在植物科学中的应用的快速进步，APPS 的目标是促进植物科学界内的交流以推进科学研究。 APPS 是美国植物学会的出版物，起源于 2009 年，最初是美国植物学杂志的在线版块，即 AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences。

APPS 发表以下类型的文章： (1) 协议注释描述新方法和技术进步； (2) 基因组资源文章描述了新开发的基因组资源（包括转录组）的开发并证明了其有用性； (3) 软件说明详述了新的软件应用程序； (4) 应用文章说明了新协议、方法或软件应用在更大研究范围内的应用； (5) 评论文章评估可用的技术、方法或协议； (6) Primer Notes 报道了具有广泛适用性的新型遗传标记。
