Frontiers in Plant Science

Frontiers in Plant Science is a leading journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of plant models, crops and ecosystems, and translates research into new technological advances. Field Chief Editor Joshua L. Heazlewood at the University of Melbourne is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide.In an ever-changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing humankind's future well-being. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials, and are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. In addition, they are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and the management and maintenance of a sustainable biosphere necessitates their thorough understanding. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology, and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems; and explores the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution, and uses of both higher and lower plants, as well as their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions from across the field — from single-plant to population and whole-ecosystem analyses; from molecular, to biophysical, to computational approaches; from basic to applied research; from molecular to organism-scale studies.

《植物科学前沿》是该领域的领先期刊，出版严格的同行评审研究，促进我们对植物模型、作物和生态系统的理解，并将研究转化为新的技术进步。墨尔本大学外刊总编辑Joshua L. Heazlewood得到了一个杰出的国际研究人员编辑委员会的支持。这是一本多学科开放获取的期刊，在向全世界的研究人员、学者、决策者和公众传播和传播科学知识和有影响力的发现方面处于前沿。在这个瞬息万变的世界里，植物科学对于保障人类未来的福祉至关重要。植物提供氧气、食物、饲料、纤维和建筑材料，是工业和制药化学品的多种来源。此外，它们对生态系统的健康至关重要，管理和维持可持续的生物圈需要它们的全面了解。植物科学是交叉学科，从农业科学到古植物学，从分子生理学到生态学。它利用计算机科学、光学、分子生物学和基因组学的最新发展来解决模型系统、农业作物和生态系统中的挑战;探索高等植物和低等植物的形态、功能、发育、多样性、繁殖、进化和用途，以及它们与生物圈中其他生物的相互作用。植物科学前沿欢迎来自各个领域的杰出贡献——从单一植物到种群和整个生态系统分析;从分子，到生物物理，再到计算方法;从基础研究到应用研究;从分子到生物尺度的研究。
