About the journal
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology provides an International forum for original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, ultrastructure, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions.
Papers on all kinds of infective pathogen, including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi, and nematodes, as well as mutualistic organisms such as Rhizobium and mycorrhyzal fungi, are acceptable as long as they have a bearing on the interaction between microbe and plant.
Research Areas Include:
Applications of mutagenesis and recombinant DNA technology to the elucidation of processes involved in host-parasite interactions Genetics of pathogenicity Genetical basis of host recognition Molecular basis of recognition; receptors and exogenous and endogenous elicitors Plasmids and infection processes; tumorigenesis Structure/activity relationships of toxins, sites of action Growth regulators and metabolic regulation Molecular biology of enzyme systems involved in infection processes Cell wall modifications and resistance to infection Molecular biology of phytoalexins and other secondary metabolites of the host and their roles in resistance Predisposition and induced susceptibility Transport of organic and inorganic nutrients in the infected plant; source-sink relationships

Instructions to Authors
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology publishes original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, ultrastructure, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions involving pathogenic or mutualistic organisms. Work of a trivial nature, even though it may have been competently performed, will not be published. Papers on new techniques, or work based on studies in pure culture, must have a bearing on the host-microbe interaction to be acceptable.
Only papers written in English will be accepted, but a short summary in the language of the author's choice may be placed at the end. There is no specific limit to the length of a paper, as the length will clearly depend on the research being reported or reviewed. However, papers should be as concise and clearly written as possible. Please write so that the text can be understood not only by researchers in the same line of research but also by those in other fields, even when their native language is not English. No charge is made for publication.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS Four copies of the manuscript, together with four high quality sets of figures and photographs, should be submitted. If the manuscript contains a reference to a paper which is "in press" and this paper is essential to a proper understanding of that manuscript, four copies of the paper "in press" should be provided. The authors should provide in their covering letter the names, addresses and email addresses (or fax numbers) of 3 researchers competent to review their paper.
Manuscripts can be submitted to Professor Ray Hammerschmidt at the following address:
c/o PMPP Editorial Office, Elsevier Science, Block 2, Westbrook Centre, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 1YG, UK. Tel: 01223 446000; Fax: 01223 460236; E-mail: PMPP@harcourt.com
COPYRIGHT/OFFPRINTS Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. In consideration for the assignment of copyright, the Publisher will supply 25 offprints of each paper. Further offprints may be ordered at extra cost at the proof stage. The Publisher will not put any limitation on the personal freedom of the author to use material contained in the paper in other works.
ARRANGEMENT OF PAPERS (The arrangement of REVIEWS can vary to suit the subject matter) a) All sheets to be numbered consecutively. The script should be double-spaced and it helps to have each line numbered in the left hand margin. b) Title. This should be specific and concise but informative to those scanning contents listings and abstract journals. The name(s) of the author(s) and the name(s) of the institution(s) where the work was carried out should follow the title. c) Abstract. An abstract of 100-200 words should be supplied on a separate sheet. With the title, it should indicate the scope of the paper. Because the abstract is reproduced in abstract journals it should not contain references or abbreviations. d) Key words. A list of key words, including the complete scientific names of all plants and micro-organisms used, must be supplied. Other key words should cover the topic investigated and special techniques used. The key words are for use in abstracting systems and for compiling the index. e) Subject matter. The subject matter of papers should be grouped under four main headings, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion. If appropriate, Results and Discussion may be combined. f) Scientific names. The complete Latin name (genus, species, authority, together with cultivar, strain or culture number where appropriate) should be cited for every organism at first mention. Thereafter the generic name may be abbreviated to the initial except where this could cause confusion. No further abbreviation is permitted. g) Abbreviations. Standard chemical symbols, standard abbreviations for unwieldy chemical names, e.g. KH2PO4, ATP, RNA and any other abbreviations which are widely accepted (see list below) may be used without definition. Other abbreviations of words or terms which are used frequently, not just once or twice a page, may be used but they must be defined in alphabetical order in a single footnote which will be printed at the foot of the first page. Mixed abbreviations should not be used; e.g. write sodium acetate, not Na acetate. h) Units of measurement. The metric system and SI (Systeme Internationale) units should be used. See list below. Use the minus index for concentrations or rates (g 1-1, ?g mm-1 s-1) except where the unit is a culture flask, organism or part of an organism, when "per flask" or "per plant" is the accepted form. i) References. Only published papers, or papers which have been accepted for publication and are in press may be included in the list of references. Manuscripts which are in preparation or which have been submitted for publication must not be listed but if it is necessary to refer to information contained therein the information should be cited in the text as "unpublished work". References should be cited by numbers in square brackets in the text after the statement they support. At the end of the paper they should be listed alphabetically and numbered in sequence using the embellished CBE-ELSE-Vancouver style. The form for single author, two-author and multi-author papers is Number, Author(s) name(s), initials. Date. Title. Journal, periodical or other source (in full, not abbreviated), Volume number, First and last page number. E.g.

Digital Object Identifier. The Publisher assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be used to query the Publisher for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, and to cite the article in academic references. When citing an article in a reference section, it is important to include the article's DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published online. The references below are samples with the DOI included.
6. Novikov VK, Belenovich EV, Dobrov EN, Zavriev SK. 2000. Kazakh strains of tobacco mosaic virus: two strains with potentially destabilizing amino acid substitutions in the coat protein.

j) Tables, Figures and Photographs should be numbered in the order of mention in the text. Note that three sets of high quality figures and plates are required. Tables require captions and should be self-explanatory. Effective type area of the journal is 24 cm x 17 cm. Figures should be supplied as drawings in black indelible ink, and not be more that 1.5 - 2 times the required size for publication. Table and figure legends should be typed on separate sheets from the main text. Photographs should be submitted in final size and should be mounted if appropriate. Labelling needed on Figures, Photographs, or Electron Micrographs should be applied using "Letraset" or similar, taking care not to damage the surface of the photographs of micrographs. Particular attention is given to the production of high-quality plates. Computer generated figures, where possible, should be supplied as both hard copy and electronic files. Figures saved as TIFF files are preferred. The publisher does not charge for figures which must be printed in colour to present the information.
Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by email. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive email or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete. Should you choose to mail your corrections, please return them to: Log-in Department, Elsevier Science, Stover Court, Bampfylde Street, Exeter, Devon EX1 2AH, UK.

MANUSCRIPTS ON DISKWhen supplying your final accepted article please include, where possible, a disk of your manuscript prepared on PC-compatible or Apple Macintosh computers, along with the hard copy print-out. Most word processing packages are acceptable, although any version of Microsoft Word or WordPerfect is preferred.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY
- Include an ASCII version on the disk, together with the word processed version if possible.
- Ensure that the files are not saved as read-only.
- Manuscripts prepared on disks must be accompanied by two hard copies, including all figures, printed with double spacing. These may be used if setting from the disk proves impracticable.
- Ensure the final version of the hard copy and the file on disk are the same. It is the authors' responsibility to ensure complete compatibility. If there are differences the hard copy will be used.
- The directives for preparing the paper in the style of the journal as set out in the Guide for Authors must be followed; i.e. ensure the document is in the following order: Title; Authors; Addresses; Running heads; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Materials and methods; Results; Discussion; Acknowledgements; References; Appendices; Figure legends; Tables; Footnotes; Abbreviations.
- The operating system and the word processing software used to produce the article should be noted on the disk (e.g. DOS/WordPerfect), as well as all file names. If UNIX, method of extraction should also be noted.
- The disk should be labelled with the journal reference number (if known), author name(s), hardware and software used to generate the disk file.
- Do not include copyright material, e.g. word processing software or operating system files, on the disk because this can create difficulties with Customs clearance.
- Package floppy disks in such a way as to avoid damage in the post.
ADDITIONAL POINTS TO NOTE
- Use two carriage returns to end headings and paragraphs.
- Type text without end of line hyphenation, except for compound words.
- Do not use lower case "l" for "1" or "O" for "0". (They have different typesetting values)
- Footnotes, tables and figure captions should be saved in a separate file from the main text of the manuscript. However, please ensure clear hard copies are supplied as they will most certainly by typeset from the hard copy.
- Be consistent with punctuation and only insert a single space between words and after punctuation.
- Please include a list of any special characters you have had to use, e.g. Greek, maths.
