Plant Methods

Journal Title：Plant Methods

Plant Methods is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences.

There is no doubt that we have entered an exciting new era in plant biology. The completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence, and the rapid progress being made in other plant genomics projects are providing unparalleled opportunities for progress in all areas of plant science. Nevertheless, enormous challenges lie ahead if we are to understand the function of every gene in the genome, and how the individual parts work together to make the whole organism. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented collaborative effort, combining high-throughput, system-wide technologies with more focused approaches that integrate traditional disciplines such as cell biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics.

Technological innovation is probably the most important catalyst for progress in any scientific discipline. Plant Methods’ goal is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools and, where appropriate, to promote consistency of methodologies for better integration of data from different laboratories.

Plant Methods 是一本面向植物研究界的开放获取、同行评审的在线期刊，涵盖植物科学技术创新的各个方面。

毫无疑问，我们已经进入了植物生物学一个令人兴奋的新时代。拟南芥基因组序列的完成以及其他植物基因组学项目的快速进展为植物科学所有领域的进步提供了无与伦比的机会。然而，如果我们要了解基因组中每个基因的功能，以及各个部分如何协同工作以形成整个生物体，那么我们仍将面临巨大的挑战。实现这些目标需要前所未有的合作努力，将高通量、全系统的技术与更有针对性的方法相结合，这些方法整合了细胞生物学、生物化学和分子遗传学等传统学科。

技术创新可能是任何科学学科进步的最重要催化剂。 Plant Methods 的目标是促进新旧改进技术和研究工具的开发和采用，并在适当情况下促进方法的一致性，以便更好地整合来自不同实验室的数据。

Plant Methods创刊于2005年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 植物科学全领域，此刊是该细分领域中属于非常不错的SCI期刊，在行业细分领域中学术影响力较大，专业度认可很高，所以对原创文章要求创新性较高，如果您的文章质量很高，可以尝试。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数4.7，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
