Crop & Pasture Science

《作物与牧场科学》(原名《澳大利亚农业研究杂志》)是一份国际期刊，发表了作物与牧场科学和农业系统可持续性战略研究的成果。主要集中在大规模的谷物，豆类，油籽和牧场。文章鼓励通过使用定义明确的和原始的旨在测试假设的目标，创新和严格的实验设计，以及强有力的解释来促进对植物性农业系统的理解。该杂志包含了从分子水平到整个系统的实验方法，研究必须提出新的发现和进步的农业科学。《作物和牧场科学》的读者包括农业科学家和植物生物学家、工业界、管理人员、决策者以及其他对世界农业生产面临的挑战和机遇感兴趣的人士。为了便于理解和清晰，研究论文应该阐明一个清晰的假设，摘要应该定义新的结果。感兴趣的具体领域包括:作物和牧场物种的起源和多样性中心，并将这些中心与包括质量和抗病性在内的农艺特性联系起来利用分子或传统方法进行植物遗传改良。绘制度量性状QTLs图谱并验证标记在育种中的实用性的论文将具有特别的意义。除非遗传图谱包含了具有农艺价值的性状或涉及农业相关物种之间的比较图谱，否则不会发表转基因研究应该与农业直接相关。证明对不易适应传统育种的性状进行改良的论文很重要基因型X环境研究和理解G X E的创新统计方法植物土壤的关系植物水分关系农作物和牧场农学研究，其成果促进了农业科学的发展植物病理学和昆虫学提高了我们对生物学相互作用的认识，并导致管理的改进。宿主与寄生虫相互作用的遗传学研究是相关的新的种植选择和制度，以提高生产力，并试图在广泛的背景下提出研究结果农业系统的土地和水资源综合管理气候变化对农作物、牧场和农业系统的影响

Crop and Pasture Science (formerly known as Australian Journal of Agricultural Research) is an international journal publishing outcomes of strategic research in crop and pasture sciences and the sustainability of farming systems. The primary focus is broad-scale cereals, grain legumes, oilseeds and pastures. Articles are encouraged that advance understanding in plant-based agricultural systems through the use of well-defined and original aims designed to test a hypothesis, innovative and rigorous experimental design, and strong interpretation. The journal embraces experimental approaches from molecular level to whole systems, and the research must present novel findings and progress the science of agriculture.Crop and Pasture Science is read by agricultural scientists and plant biologists, industry, administrators, policy-makers, and others with an interest in the challenges and opportunities facing world agricultural production. To facilitate accessibility and clarity, research papers should address a clearly enunciated hypothesis, and the Abstract should define the novel outcomes.Specific areas of interest include:Centres of origin and diversity of crop and pasture species and associating these centres with traits of agronomic interest, including quality and disease resistancePlant genetic improvement using molecular or traditional approaches. Papers which map QTLs for metric traits and which can validate the utility of the markers in breeding will be particularly relevant. Genetic maps are not published unless they incorporate traits of agronomic value or concern comparative mapping among species of agricultural relevanceTransgenic research should show a direct relevance to agriculture. Papers demonstrating improvement for traits not readily amenable to traditional breeding are importantGenotype X environment research and innovative statistical approaches to understanding G X EPlant soil relationsPlant water relationsCrop and pasture agronomy research, the findings of which advance the science of agriculturePlant pathology and entomology which increase our understanding of the biology of the interaction and lead to improved management. Research on the genetics of host parasite interactions is relevantNovel cropping options and systems to improve productivity and which attempt to present the findings in a broad contextIntegrated land and water resources management in agricultural systemsImpacts of changing climate on crops, pastures and agricultural systems
