期刊名称：PLANT BIOLOGY ISSN： 1435-8603 版本： SCI-CDE 出版频率： Bi-monthly 出版社： WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN, USA, NJ, 07030-5774   出版社网址： http://www.thieme.de/ 期刊网址： http://www.periodicals.com/html/ihp_e.html?ep60885 影响因子： 3.081 主题范畴： PLANT SCIENCES 期刊简介(About the journal)    投稿须知(Instructions to Authors)    编辑部信息(Editorial Board)    About the journal Plant biology  Plant biology is an international journal of broad scope bringing together the different subdisciplines, such as physiology, molecular biology, cell biology, development, genetics, systematics, ecology, evolution, ecophysiology, plant-microbe interactions, mycology and phytopathology. To this end, the international board of section editors represents all major areas of plant science and has a broad international base.  Plant Biology publishes original problem oriented research papers, rapid communications, and review articles. Discussions of hot topics and provocative opinion articles will be published under the heading acute views. From a multidisciplinary perspective, Plant Biology will provide a platform for publication, information and debate, encompassing all areas which fall within the scope of plant science. Articles with an interdisciplinary approach are encouraged. A rigorous, independent peer-review system will guarantee that all work appearing in Plant Biology will be of high standard and great significance to plant biologists.   Instructions to Authors Editorial policy Plant Biology reports research results from all fields of plant science written in English. The journal encourages publications with an interdisciplinary approach. Plant Biology accepts problem oriented research papers rapid communications up to 2 printed pages concise review articles Acute Views, comments on actual problems and provocative opinion articles. Contributions from all over the world are welcome. Manuscripts (in triplicate) to be sent to one of the section editors . Conditions for publication Research papers will be accepted that have not been published previously, even as summary. Since usually more manuscripts are submitted than the space in Plant Biology will allow to be published, concise presentation is required. Although the nonspecialist reader should be kept in mind when abstracts, introductions and discussions are written, lengthy review-type introductions and speculative discussions should be avoided. The subject should be approached in a direct way. Experimental methods should be explained in detail except for standard procedures. Diffuse and repetitive style should be avoided. Illustrations and tables should be limited to the truly essential material. Rapid communications should present important new findings with high urgency for publication. They must not be of preliminary nature. They are limited to two printed pages including abstracts, references, tables and figures. Concise review articles that synthesize the state of the art in an original way are highly desirable for this journal. Acute Views contributions should contain brief comments on an actual problem. Length of papers Papers should not exceed 8 printed pages. One printed page in the journal usually has normal size letters 2 columns, 64 lines each with 50 characters per line references 50 references usually fill one printed page. Arrangement Research Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate: The title, the author’s names and affiliations, a short title for use as running head, the name, address, e-mail adress, phone and fax number of the corresponding author, and 3 to 7 key words. Abbreviations: List with abbreviations where appropriate. Abstract. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words. The following sections cover the usual contents: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References (see below), Tables (see below), Figure legends (see below), Illustrations (see below). In Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion subheadings are possible. If it is chosen to combine sections Results and Discussion, an additional section Conclusions can be added, but this must be brief. Rapid communications Title page, Key words and Abstract as for full length papers. Follow the flow of reasoning as in Introduction ?Materials and Methods ?Results ?Discussion, leaving out the headings. Concise review articles Choose subheadings as appropriate and use a decimal numbering system, but do not use more than 3 decimals. Title page, Key words, Abstract and other items as for full length papers. Tables Each table should be typed on a separate sheet, numbered with arabic numerals and accompanied by a short instructive title line plus an explanatory caption at the top. Indicate footnotes within tables by superscript small letters, and type footnotes below the table. Each table must be referred to in the text. Figures Line drawings can either be submitted as original drawings ready for print or as clean and sharply contrasting, high-gloss black-and-white photographs. Photographs and micrographs should be sharp, well-contrasted glossy prints, trimmed precisely at right angles and labelled with printed characters (letters and symbols). If the final lettering is to be done by the Publisher, the author should provide, on transparent overlays, securely attached to the photographs, a clear guide as to where he wants letters, symbols etc. The end points of arrows or lines, the precise positions of which are important, should be clearly indicated finely pointed lines on the overlay. Before reproduction, the lettered illustrations will be submitted to the authors for approval. Each figure must be numbered with Arabic numerals and referred to in the text. Each figure must be accompanied by a legend which should have a short instructive title line plus explanatory text as needed. Legends are typed sequentially on separate sheets of the manuscript. The figures with their legends should be comprehensible without reference to the text. The illustrations are appropriately reduced or enlarged by the publishers to suit the measures of the journal. Legends in the original figures must be sufficiently large to remain legible even after reduction. The widths for illustrations are: Width of column= 85 mm. Width of page = 175 mm. Colour illustrations can be published if necessary and recommended by the section editor and if the author makes a contribution to the printing costs. This contribution amounts to at present EUR 155.?per plate, plus VAT. It is recommended to mount separate figures as plate. References Text References should be quoted in the text as follows: one author: "...regulations as described by L¨¹ttge (1998 [1])." "...as given in the published regulations (L¨¹ttge, 1998 [1])." two authors: "...regulations as described by L¨¹ttge and Voesenek (1998 [2])." "...as given in the published regulations (Voesenek and L¨¹ttge, 1998 [2])." three or more authors: use name of first author with: et al., 1998 [3] Two ore more references in parentheses should be arranged according to year of publication or in alphabetical order, but consistently throughout your paper. List of references Authors are responsible for completeness of references and consistency with the text of the manuscript. References in the text, tables, and legends should be numbered at the end of the paper in strict alphabetic order, i.e., firstly by the name of the first author, then by the name of the second author if the first author is identical for more than one reference, then by the name of the third author if the first two authors are identical, and so on. Identify references in the text, tables, and legends by superior numbers placed in square brackets. Order should be by year of publication if all authors and their sequence are identical for more than one reference. If the first author and the year of publication are the same for more references, small letters behind the year must be used both in quotations in the text and in the list of references to allow unambiguous allocation of each reference. Punctuation, number, and sequence of items required for the references are best taken from the following examples; note that in all cases full titles and first and last page number are required.

Within a given paper chosen units must be uniform. Abbreviations Note that common abbreviations can be used without explanation. Others must be explained. In case of doubt always give an explanation. Use FW= fresh weight and DW= dry weight. Scientific names Scientific names should be cited in their complete form when first mentioned with genus - species - authority - cultivar (cv.) or subspecies (ssp.) where appropriate. Latin names should be underlined or typed in italics. Subsequently the generic names should be abbreviated, but avoid confusion: e.g. use A. comosus if the only genus with a first letter A in your paper is Ananas; but use unambiguous abbreviations if you have more than one genus with the same first letter, e.g. Ananas comosus, Aechmea nudicaulis = A. comosus, Ae. nudicaulis, etc. Common names of organisms must be accompanied by the correct scientific name when first mentioned. For rare or exotic genera it may be useful to give the name of the family and/or higher taxon in brackets when first mentioned. Reprints The author(s) receive(s) 50 offprints free of charge. Electronic Manuscripts Whenever possible, manuscripts should be made available electronically. Widespread text processors should be used and the operating system, programme and version numbers should be indicated on the diskette. Please save your file in the standard format of your text processor and in one or several exchange format/s (for example, *.txt, *.rtf). Figure legends and tables should be listed at the end of the document. Please save figures as separate files. They should not be integrated into the text document. The following graphic file formats are preferred: For coloured and black-and-white bitmaps: *.eps, *.tif, *.jpg, *.wmf (resolution: 300 dpi). For diagrams and line drawings: *.eps (resolution: 800 dpi). In addition to the electronical files, three paper versions of both text and figures must be submitted. In case of doubt, the paper version is given the higher priority. Please provide a signed declaration that the paper and electronic versions are identical. Editorial Board Editors-in-Chief H.
