FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY

功能植物生物学(前身为澳大利亚植物生理学杂志)发表具有广泛兴趣的论文，增进我们对植物运作和与环境相互作用机制的认识。特别令人感兴趣的是植物适应极端环境条件的机制和信号转导途径，例如高温和低温、干旱、洪水、盐分、病原体和其他主要的非生物和生物胁迫因素。FPB还鼓励发表关于植物生物学中新兴概念和新工具的论文，以及对以下功能领域的研究，包括从分子到整个植物到社区规模的工作。FPB并不仅仅发表现象学观察结果或仅仅具有应用意义的发现。重点领域:环境生理学压力和适应植物细胞生物学植物生长发育光合作用和碳水化合物代谢营养物质的吸收、运输和代谢有效利用资源(水;完成;营养)根际生物学生殖、种子和果实生物学国防和保护新兴科学欢迎发表关于这些主题的观点文章和重点评论。

Functional Plant Biology (formerly known as Australian Journal of Plant Physiology) publishes papers of a broad interest that advance our knowledge on mechanisms by which plants operate and interact with environment. Of specific interest are mechanisms and signal transduction pathways by which plants adapt to extreme environmental conditions such as high and low temperatures, drought, flooding, salinity, pathogens, and other major abiotic and biotic stress factors. FPB also encourages papers on emerging concepts and new tools in plant biology, and studies on the following functional areas encompassing work from the molecular through whole plant to community scale. FPB does not publish merely phenomenological observations or findings of merely applied significance.Focus areas:Environmental physiologyStress and adaptationPlant cell biologyPlant growth and developmentPhotosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolismNutrient uptake, transport and metabolismEffective resource utilisation (water; assimilates; nutrients)Root – rhizosphere biologyReproduction, seed and fruit biologyDefence and protectionEmerging sciencePerspective articles and focused reviews on these topics are welcome.
