The Plant Journal (TPJ) publishes four categories of papers:Original Research ArticlesThe aim of TPJ is to publish exciting, high quality science that addresses fundamental questions in plant biology. Typically, the research will provide insight into an as yet unknown mechanism or poorly understood process, will constitute a highly significant contribution to our understanding of plants, and be of general interest to the plant science community. All areas of plant biology are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. Many fully-sequenced genomes and related technologies are now available. TPJ welcomes functional genomics manuscripts when a scientific question, rather than the technology used, has driven the research.Technical AdvancesTechnical Advance articles must be useful to a large proportion of the community and not be narrow in scope. Demonstration of how the Technical Advance has led to new insights into a biological mechanism must also be made. Manuscripts that describe significant advances in the use of an already existing technology will be considered, but variations on existing methods, or improvements on vectors, would not qualify for consideration.Resource ArticlesResource articles will typically be data-rich and provide an important, novel reference source for the field. Such an article could encompass a careful comparative analysis of ecotypes or strains of a model or reference organism, but also large-scale reference datasets derived from transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics that the community will likely continue to use for metadata analysis leading to novel biological insights. First time genome sequences of plant or algal species or specific ecotypes or strains of a reference organism, and the respective comparative genomic analysis, will be welcome under this category. Metabolic flux maps and their computational basis, or newly reconstructed metabolic networks for reference organisms or specific tissues, will also be considered. Resource articles covering large-scale datasets must have a concise conclusion highlighting examples of novel biological insights and/or how these data might lead to such insights in the future through continued metadata analysis.Special Issue articlesTPJ aims to publish special issues on a regular basis, typically comprising specially commissioned review papers on an emerging topic identified by the Editorial Board. Unsolicited review articles will not be considered.

植物雜志(TPJ)發(fā)表四類論文:原始研究的文章TPJ的目標(biāo)是發(fā)表令人興奮的，高質(zhì)量的科學(xué)，解決植物生物學(xué)的基本問題。一般來說，這項(xiàng)研究將提供對(duì)一個(gè)未知的機(jī)制或知之甚少的過程的深入了解，將對(duì)我們對(duì)植物的理解做出重大貢獻(xiàn)，并對(duì)植物科學(xué)界產(chǎn)生普遍的興趣。歡迎所有領(lǐng)域的植物生物學(xué)和實(shí)驗(yàn)方法的使用可以廣泛和跨學(xué)科。許多全序列基因組和相關(guān)技術(shù)現(xiàn)在都是可用的。TPJ歡迎功能基因組手稿，當(dāng)一個(gè)科學(xué)問題，而不是使用的技術(shù)，推動(dòng)了研究。技術(shù)進(jìn)步技術(shù)進(jìn)步文章必須對(duì)社區(qū)的大部分人有用，而且范圍不能狹窄。還必須證明技術(shù)進(jìn)步如何導(dǎo)致對(duì)生物機(jī)制的新見解。將審議描述在使用現(xiàn)有技術(shù)方面取得重大進(jìn)展的手稿，但現(xiàn)有方法的變化或載體的改進(jìn)將不符合審議的資格。資源的文章資源文章通常數(shù)據(jù)豐富，為該領(lǐng)域提供了一個(gè)重要的、新穎的參考源。這樣的文章可以包含對(duì)模型或參考生物的生態(tài)型或菌株的仔細(xì)比較分析，也可以包含來自轉(zhuǎn)錄組學(xué)、蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)或代謝組學(xué)的大規(guī)模參考數(shù)據(jù)集，社區(qū)可能會(huì)繼續(xù)使用這些數(shù)據(jù)集進(jìn)行元數(shù)據(jù)分析，從而獲得新的生物學(xué)見解。植物或藻類物種或特定生態(tài)型或參考生物菌株的首次基因組序列，以及各自的比較基因組分析，將在這一類別下受到歡迎。還將考慮代謝通量圖及其計(jì)算基礎(chǔ)，或?yàn)閰⒖忌锘蛱囟ńM織重新構(gòu)建的代謝網(wǎng)絡(luò)。涵蓋大型數(shù)據(jù)集的資源文章必須有一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)潔的結(jié)論，突出新生物學(xué)見解的例子，以及/或這些數(shù)據(jù)如何在未來通過持續(xù)的元數(shù)據(jù)分析導(dǎo)致這些見解。特刊文章TPJ的目標(biāo)是定期出版特刊，通常包括對(duì)編輯委員會(huì)確定的新興主題的專門委托評(píng)審論文。未經(jīng)請(qǐng)求的評(píng)論文章將不予考慮。
