《植物生理學(xué)雜志》是一本廣譜雜志，歡迎在植物生理學(xué)的所有主要領(lǐng)域提交高質(zhì)量的論文，包括植物生物化學(xué)、功能生物技術(shù)和分子生物學(xué):生長(zhǎng)和發(fā)育、光合和呼吸、代謝途徑、運(yùn)輸和易位，以及植物對(duì)生物和非生物脅迫的反應(yīng)。從分子和細(xì)胞到生物體及其環(huán)境的各個(gè)層次的整合都?xì)g迎進(jìn)行研究，預(yù)計(jì)將使用最先進(jìn)的方法。因此，純基因表達(dá)的研究并不是我們雜志的重點(diǎn)。為了考慮發(fā)表，論文必須對(duì)生理過(guò)程的機(jī)械性理解做出重大貢獻(xiàn)，而不僅僅是描述或證實(shí)先前的結(jié)果。我們鼓勵(lì)提交研究非模型物種、已被接受的模型物種以及連接基礎(chǔ)研究和應(yīng)用研究的模型物種生理學(xué)的論文。例如，對(duì)農(nóng)業(yè)植物的研究表明了提高農(nóng)業(yè)效率的新的生理機(jī)制是受歡迎的。在不受控制的情況(實(shí)地條件)下進(jìn)行的研究將不予考慮出版。

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 and molecular biology: growth and developmentphotosynthesis and respiration, metabolic pathways, transport and translocation, and plant responses to 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. Therefore 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 confirmative of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model species as well as accepted models 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 (field conditions) will not be considered for publication.
