PLANT JOURNAL

The Plant Journal (TPJ) publishes four categories of papers:Original Research ArticlesThe aim of TPJ is to publish exciting, high quality science that addresses fundamental questions in plant biology. Typically, the research will provide insight into an as yet unknown mechanism or poorly understood process, will constitute a highly significant 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 and interdisciplinary. Many fully-sequenced genomes and related technologies are now available. TPJ welcomes functional genomics manuscripts when a scientific question, rather than the technology used, has driven the research.Technical AdvancesTechnical Advance articles must be useful to a large proportion of the community and not be narrow in scope. Demonstration of how the Technical Advance has led to new insights into a biological mechanism must also be made. Manuscripts that describe significant advances in the use of an already existing technology will be considered, but variations on existing methods, or improvements on vectors, would not qualify for consideration.Resource ArticlesResource articles will typically be data-rich and provide an important, novel reference source for the field. Such an article could encompass a careful comparative analysis of ecotypes or strains of a model or reference organism, but also large-scale reference datasets derived from transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics that the community will likely continue to use for metadata analysis leading to novel biological insights. First time genome sequences of plant or algal species or specific ecotypes or strains of a reference organism, and the respective comparative genomic analysis, will be welcome under this category. Metabolic flux maps and their computational basis, or newly reconstructed metabolic networks for reference organisms or specific tissues, will also be considered. Resource articles covering large-scale datasets must have a concise conclusion highlighting examples of novel biological insights and/or how these data might lead to such insights in the future through continued metadata analysis.Special Issue articlesTPJ aims to publish special issues on a regular basis, typically comprising specially commissioned review papers on an emerging topic identified by the Editorial Board. Unsolicited review articles will not be considered.

植物杂志(TPJ)发表四类论文:原始研究的文章TPJ的目标是发表令人兴奋的，高质量的科学，解决植物生物学的基本问题。一般来说，这项研究将提供对一个未知的机制或知之甚少的过程的深入了解，将对我们对植物的理解做出重大贡献，并对植物科学界产生普遍的兴趣。欢迎所有领域的植物生物学和实验方法的使用可以广泛和跨学科。许多全序列基因组和相关技术现在都是可用的。TPJ欢迎功能基因组手稿，当一个科学问题，而不是使用的技术，推动了研究。技术进步技术进步文章必须对社区的大部分人有用，而且范围不能狭窄。还必须证明技术进步如何导致对生物机制的新见解。将审议描述在使用现有技术方面取得重大进展的手稿，但现有方法的变化或载体的改进将不符合审议的资格。资源的文章资源文章通常数据丰富，为该领域提供了一个重要的、新颖的参考源。这样的文章可以包含对模型或参考生物的生态型或菌株的仔细比较分析，也可以包含来自转录组学、蛋白质组学或代谢组学的大规模参考数据集，社区可能会继续使用这些数据集进行元数据分析，从而获得新的生物学见解。植物或藻类物种或特定生态型或参考生物菌株的首次基因组序列，以及各自的比较基因组分析，将在这一类别下受到欢迎。还将考虑代谢通量图及其计算基础，或为参考生物或特定组织重新构建的代谢网络。涵盖大型数据集的资源文章必须有一个简洁的结论，突出新生物学见解的例子，以及/或这些数据如何在未来通过持续的元数据分析导致这些见解。特刊文章TPJ的目标是定期出版特刊，通常包括对编辑委员会确定的新兴主题的专门委托评审论文。未经请求的评论文章将不予考虑。
