Instructions to Authors
- Plant and Cell Physiology is an international journal devoted to publication of original papers pertaining to physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, genetics, molecular biology, gene-engineering and cell biology of plants and microorganisms. Although the journal is closely associated with the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists, we also welcome article submissions from those who are not members of the society.
- Manuscripts that contain new and significant findings are welcome, with the understanding that the contents have not been published in any other journal. Each manuscript is classified as a Regular Paper, Rapid Paper or Short Communication. A Rapid Paper should contain significant new findings which require quick publication and will be printed within 40 days after acceptance. A Short Communication is for a concise but independent report representing significant contribution to plant sciences. A Short Communication is not intended to publish preliminary results. An additional category, Mini Review, is published only after invitation by the Editors. An author of a Rapid Paper must submit a statement on scientific significance of the results that necessitate quick publication. Due to schedule constraints, accepted manuscripts for Rapid Papers might have to be printed without galley proof reading by the author; so, particular attention should be paid to prepare the manuscript according to the Instructions and to eliminate any errors.
- Reviewing. The Editor requests reviewers to evaluate the manuscript critically with respect to its originality and significance to plant sciences. Reviewers are selected for their competence in specialized areas of the plant sciences; their names are not divulged to authors. On submission of a manuscript, authors may suggest the names and addresses of up to five potential reviewers who have not seen the manuscript before its submission. The Editors are not, however, bound by these suggestions. Authors also may request disqualification of up to two possible reviewers, but may not disqualify members of the Editorial Board.
Authors should receive reviewers?comments within two weeks after submissions for Rapid Papers, or within one month for Regular Papers, Mini Reviews and Short Communications. Accepted manuscripts are published within 40 days for Rapid Papers and within 70 days for other papers on average.
The corresponding author will receive a letter of decision from the Editor together with reports from the reviewers. When revision of a manuscript is requested, the author must respond in an accompanying letter to the comments of the Editor and reviewers; must indicate which comments have been incorporated in the revision; and must give reasons why any comments have been disregarded. The revised manuscript must be returned within the period assigned by the Editor. A revised manuscript received after this time will be considered a new submission. If a manuscript is rejected, only the original copy will be sent back to the authors.
- Manuscripts should be written in clear and concise, grammatical English. A contributor whose native language is not English is strongly recommended to have the manuscript checked by a native English speaker or by a colleague with ample experience in writing English manuscripts. This process, taken by authors before submission, will greatly facilitate reviewing, and thus publication if the content is acceptable. Manuscripts should be typewritten on one side only of A4 size or American quarto paper and double spaced throughout, leaving liberal margins of at least 3cm. Locations of figures and tables to be inserted should be indicated in the margins of the text.
- The original manuscript and two copies should be sent to:
Professor Mikio Nishimura
Editor-in-Chief, Plant and Cell Physiology
c/o The Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists
Shimotachiuri Ogawa Higashi
Kamikyo-ku, Kyoto
602-8048 Japan

- Text. Regular Papers and Rapid Papers should be prepared with the headings Introduction, Results, Discussion, and Materials and Methods, in this order. Short Communications should follow the structure of Regular Papers, but with headings omitted. Consult recent issues of Plant and Cell Physiology for further details of the format.
- Tables. should be prepared in a form consistent with recent issues of Plant and Cell Physiology and should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Explanatory material should be given in the table legends and footnotes. Each table should be prepared on a separate page.
- Figures. Submit original glossy photographs, i.e., one original plus two copies of each figure. Line drawings must be clear, with high black and white contrast. (Laser printer-generated line drawings and photocopies of the same can be submitted.) Photocopies of photographs are unacceptable. Submit photographs, even with the copies of manuscripts. Each figure should be drawn or printed on a separate sheet, and should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Micrographs should be submitted the same size as, or slightly larger than, they are to appear. The maximum printed size for an illustration is 175mm x 218mm. Where several micrographs are grouped together, they should be mounted accurately on mounting paper. Lettering on the original micrographs will be inserted by the printer and should be indicated accurately on tracing paper overlays. Lettering on duplicate sets of prints should be directly inserted by authors. Each figure and micrograph, including copies, should be identified with the author's name and the figure number. Indicate where the top is for each figure. Do not identify original photographic prints by marking them on the back. Do not attach figure legends to the figures themselves. Illustrations will be produced at extra cost in color at the discretion of the Editor; the author will be charged 40,000 yen for each color page.
- References. Literature citations in the text should be made by name(s) of author(s) and year. For references with more than two authors, use the name of the first author followed by "et al."
Takahashi and Yamamoto (1986) reported that ...
The results have been interpreted (Suzuki et al. 1996).
References should be listed in alphabetical order, by the authors?last names. For the same author, or for the same set of authors, references should be arranged chronologically. If there is more than one publication in the same year for the same author(s), the letters "a", "b", etc. should be added to the year. Do not use indentations in typing References. Use one line of space to separate each reference. For example:
Birch, B.P. (1995a) Growth responses of Nicotiana tabacum L. to light and water stress. Plant Cell Physiol. 36: 1?0.
Birch, B.P. (1995b) Organic acid metabolism in light-grown radish (Raphanus sativus L.). Plant Cell Physiol. 36: 101?10.
Cherry, P.Y., Juniper, R. and Aoki, J. (1994) Kinetic studies of photosynthetic activity in Chlorella. In Mechanism of Photosynthesis. Edited by Yanagi, M. and Liu, Y. pp. 123?34. Science Press, Tokyo.

Holly, M.C. (1987) Plant Biophysics. p. 102. Botany Press, Kyoto.
Unpublished data and personal communications should not be cited as literature citations, but given in the text in parentheses. "In press" articles that have been accepted for publication may be cited in References. Include in the citation the journal in which the "in press" article will appear and the publication date, if a date is available.
- Sequence information and X-ray crystallographic coordinates described in a manuscript must be submitted in electronic form to the appropriate database for release no later than the date of publication of the corresponding article in the Journal. Include database deposition and/or accession numbers in the manuscript and refer to this in the letter of submission.
- Word-processing software. To ensure rapid, accurate printing, a floppy disk that has exactly the same information as the final hard copy version of the manuscript is requested by the Editor on notice of acceptance. Preparation of manuscripts with either of the following software programs is desirable: Microsoft Word or WordPerfect. Other word-processing packages are acceptable, but reproduction cannot be guaranteed.
- Proof reading. Authors are responsible for reading galley proofs and correcting typographical errors. Major changes from the manuscript should be avoided, but if made on the galley proofs, the author must send the proofs to the respective Editor and follow his subsequent instructions. Authors will be charged for the expense of alterations.
- Reprints. Fifty reprints of each article will be provided free of charge. Authors will be charged for additional reprints.
- Page charge. No page charge is sought for articles up to eight printed pages long. For articles of nine or more printed pages, the author will be billed a page charge of 8,000 yen per printed page in excess of eight printed pages.
- Handling charge. There is no manuscript handling charge for members of the Society. Non-member authors are charged a handling fee of 10,000 yen per accepted manuscript. Handling charges may be waived provided a written explanation giving the reason for the request is made to the Editor-in-Chief.
- Cover photographs. PCP welcomes suitable photographs for our cover illustration each month. Send high quality photos to the Editor-in-Chief when you submit a manuscript. These photos should have some connection with the topic of the manuscript. If their photos are used, authors will receive 200 free reprints of their articles bound with that color cover.
Submitting your manuscript online
PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
- Follow the instructions to authors regarding the format of your manuscript and references.
- Prepare your manuscript, including tables, using a word processing program and save it as a .doc, .rtf or .ps file. All files in these formats will be converted to .pdf format upon submission.
- Prepare your figures at publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and half-tone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted and printed. For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to http://cpc.cadmus.com/da. For online submission, please also prepare a second version of your figures at low-resolution for use in the review process; these versions of the figures can be saved in .jpg, .gif, .tif or .eps format.
- For online submission, please upload the low-resolution versions of the figures within the main document file for review, and upload high-resolution files for production.
- Prepare any other files that are to be submitted for review, including any supplementary material. The permitted formats for these files are the same as for manuscripts and figures. Other file types, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations may be uploaded and will be converted to .pdf format. It is also possible to upload LaTeX files but these will not be automatically converted to .pdf format (and are therefore discouraged). The journal staff, editors and reviewers will only be able to view these unconverted files if they have the appropriate software, which cannot be guaranteed.
- When naming your files, please use simple filenames and avoid special characters and spaces. If you are a Macintosh user, you must also type the three-letter extension at the end of the file name you choose (e.g. .doc, .rtf, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .ppt, .xls, .pdf, .eps, .mov).
SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Now that your files are ready, visit the online submission web site.
- First, you will need to log into the system. Note: Before you begin, you should be sure you are using version 4.0 or higher of Netscape or Internet Explorer. If you have an earlier version, you can download a free upgrade using the icons found at the bottom of our login screen.
- If you know your login details (i.e. you have submitted or reviewed a manuscript on this system before), use your User ID and Password to log on.
- If you do not know your login details, check to see if you are already registered by clicking on the 'Check for existing account' button and following the on-screen instructions. If you are not already registered, you can register by clicking on the 'Create a new account' button on the login screen and following the on-screen instructions.
- If you have trouble finding manuscripts or have other problems with your account do not create another account. Instead, please contact Manuscript Central Customer Support (see below).
- To submit a new manuscript, go to the ‘Author Centre? choose ‘Submit First Draft of a New Manuscript?and then follow the on-screen instructions. There are up to 12 steps for you to follow to submit your manuscript. You move from one step to the next by clicking on the ‘Save and Continue?button on each screen or back to the previous screen by clicking on the 'Previous' button. Please note that if you click on the ‘Back?or ‘Forward?button on your browser, the information you have entered will not be saved. At any stage you can stop the submission process by clicking on the ‘Return to Menu?button ?everything you have typed into the system up to, but not including, the current screen will be saved. To return to the submission process you will need to click on the manuscript title in the ‘Partially Submitted Manuscripts?section in your ‘Author Centre? You may like to have the original word processing file available so that you can copy and paste the title and abstract into the required fields.
- To upload your files in the Author Centre ‘File Upload Centre?
- Click on the ‘Browse?button and locate the document you want to upload.
- Select the document's designation from the pull-down menu. The designation choices may vary from journal to journal, but will always include ‘Main Document?(your manuscript text).
- You will also be asked whether each document you upload should be considered for review, and the default is set to ‘Yes? Please be advised that, if you select ‘No? the editorial staff will still be able to view that document and make it available to an editor or reviewer if necessary.
- Click on the upload button to submit your file. If you are uploading your manuscript file, and it is in one of the formats specified above, it will be automatically converted to a .pdf file for peer review.
- When the upload of each file is completed, you will see a confirmation window asking you to write a description of that document. For your Main Document, you can use language such as ‘Manuscript Text?or ‘Main Document? For your figures, please include the figure number, e.g. ‘Figure 1?or ‘Fig. 1? For any other supporting documents, please indicate clearly what the document is as well as its format (MS Excel, MS Word, etc.).
- From the files you submit to make up your manuscript, the system creates and stores separately two types of documents:
- Files for Review. These will be the files viewable to the editor and reviewers of your manuscript. The system will automatically convert your text documents (any document in .doc, .rtf or .ps format) into .pdf and make that newly converted document accessible for review, leaving the originally uploaded document under the second column, ‘Files for Production? [Note: PDF files are readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader, available for download from the main login screen of Manuscript Central, as well as from www.adobe.com.] The system will also convert and save under 'Files for Review' all files with images (figures, charts, graphs, etc.) in.jpg, .gif, .tif and .eps format, converting them into smaller .jpg images, leaving the original files under ‘Files for Production? The smaller versions of your image will include in the filename ‘_sm.jpg? The system will also save under ‘Files for Review?any documents which are uploaded in formats that it cannot convert.
- Files for Production. These are all the original word-processor files and figures you uploaded. Not listed here will be those files you designated for review but submitted in a format that cannot be converted by the system.
- After the successful upload of your text and images, it will be possible for you to view and proof your manuscript now located on the web site. The on-screen version of your manuscript you review at the journal's web site will also be the version accessed by the editor and the reviewers.
- If the files have not been uploaded to your satisfaction, click on the ‘Previous?button to move back to the file upload screen where you can remove the files you do not want, and repeat the upload process.
- When you are satisfied with the uploaded manuscript then click on the ‘Submit?button. It is not until this button is pushed that the manuscript and all of the associated information (i.e. contributing authors, institutions, etc.) is linked together and the manuscript is given a manuscript number. Once the manuscript is submitted it is not possible to undo the submission.
- After the manuscript has been submitted you will receive an email confirmation stating that your manuscript was successfully submitted. This email will also give the assigned manuscript number, which is used in all correspondence. If you do not receive this email, your manuscript will not have been successfully submitted to the journal and the paper cannot progress to peer review. If this is the case your manuscript will still be sitting in the ‘Partially Submitted Manuscripts?section of your ‘Author Centre?awaiting your attention.
- If you return to your ‘Author Centre?you will notice that your newly submitted manuscript can be found in the ‘Submitted Manuscripts?area. Among the information listed there, the ‘Processing Status?section provides information on the status of your manuscript as it moves through the review process.
SUBMITTING A REVISED MANUSCRIPT
- Logon to the online submission web site as before and, in the ‘Author Centre? click on ‘Manuscripts to be Revised? You will then see the title of any manuscripts you submitted that are under revision.
- If you click on the manuscript title you will reach the ‘File Manager?screen. Here you can upload the files that constitute your revised manuscript. To facilitate the production process, it is essential that you upload your revised manuscript as a .doc or .rtf file, and not in .pdf format.
- If you click on ‘View comments/respond?you will see the editor’s letter to you together with the referees?comments. You may cut and paste your responses into the text areas at the bottom of the screen.
IMPORTANT. If your paper goes on to be accepted, your images will be required as high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and half-tone artwork) or high-quality printouts on glossy paper. For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to http://cpc.cadmus.com/da. Please note that publication of your manuscript will not proceed until figures suitable for reproduction are received.
