The Journal of Plant Physiology is a broad-spectrum journal that welcomes high-quality submissions in all major areas of plant physiology, including plant biochemistry, functional biotechnology, computational and synthetic plant biology, growth and development, photosynthesis and respiration, transport and translocation, plant-microbe interactions, biotic and abiotic stress. Studies are welcome at all levels of integration ranging from molecules and cells to organisms and their environments and are expected to use state-of-the-art methodologies. Pure gene expression studies are not within the focus of our journal. To be considered for publication, papers must significantly contribute to the mechanistic understanding of physiological processes, and not be merely descriptive, or confirmatory of previous results. We encourage the submission of papers that explore the physiology of non-model as well as accepted model species and those that bridge basic and applied research. For instance, studies on agricultural plants that show new physiological mechanisms to improve agricultural efficiency are welcome. Studies performed under uncontrolled situations (e.g. field conditions) not providing mechanistic insight will not be considered for publication.

The Journal of Plant Physiology publishes several types of articles: Original Research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives Articles, and Short Communications. Reviews and Perspectives will be solicited by the Editors; unsolicited reviews are also welcome but only from authors with a strong track record in the field of the review. Original research papers comprise the majority of published contributions.

《植物生理学杂志》是一本涵盖面广泛的杂志，欢迎植物生理学所有主要领域的高质量投稿，包括植物生物化学、功能生物技术、计算和合成植物生物学、生长和发育、光合作用和呼吸、运输和易位、植物-微生物相互作用、生物和非生物胁迫。我们欢迎所有整合水平的研究，从分子和细胞到生物及其环境，并希望使用最先进的方法。纯基因表达研究不属于我们杂志的重点。要考虑发表，论文必须对生理过程的机制理解做出重大贡献，而不仅仅是描述性的或确认以前的结果。我们鼓励提交探索非模型和公认模型物种生理学的论文，以及那些连接基础研究和应用研究的论文。例如，欢迎对农业植物的研究，这些研究展示了提高农业效率的新生理机制。在不受控制的情况下（例如田间条件）进行的研究若未提供机械方面的见解，将不予考虑发表。

《植物生理学杂志》发表几种类型的文章：原创研究文章、评论、观点文章和简短通讯。评论和观点将由编辑征集；我们也欢迎未经请求的评论，但仅限于在评论领域有良好记录的作者。原创研究论文占已发表文章的大部分。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映生物-植物科学领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为4，平均审稿速度为 约13.月 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
