About the Journal
Molecular Plant is a newly founded international journal that publishes significant findings in plant biology, focusing broadly on cellular biology, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, development, and evolution. The journal features a strong international editorial board and aims to become a top-tier journal in the field. The primary quality standard for publication will be set by rigorous review of findings that provide novel insights of high impact.
We particularly encourage submissions of original research that is highly novel but not necessarily fully-developed. Contributions may comprise Research Articles, Review Articles, Editorials and Commentaries. In the first phase, most papers of this new journal will be organized into “Current Topics” that are particularly current, exciting, and important in plant biology, although we also welcome papers outside these areas.
We emphasize rapid publishing and make every effort to ensure that papers are fully reviewed within 4 weeks and that all accepted papers are published online in their final format within 4 weeks of acceptance of the final manuscript. Manuscripts are now being reviewed and published online, and the first print issue will appear in January 2008.
