Journal of Integrative Plant Biology

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology is the official journal of the Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Botanical Society of China. The aim of the journal is to report novel scientific discoveries related to all biological processes in plants using integrative genetic, chemical, cell and molecular biological approaches to understand plants at micro- and macro-scale.
Articles should fit in one of the following 6 themes: 1) Cell & Developmental Biology; 2) Metabolic
Biology & Biochemistry; 3) Signal Transduction & Stress Response; 4) Systems Biology & Molecular Physiology; 5) Sexual Reproduction; and 6) Molecular Evolution & Ecology. Our primary focus is on providing the answers to significant plant biological questions and on the technologies essential for such studies. Preliminary observations, purely descriptive studies, tissue culture and transformation, and reporting on single plant-derived chemicals fall beyond the scope of the journal.
Types of papers include: New Resources (should describe major informational databases and genetic resources that are of value and interest to a wide plant science audience) and New technologies.
