Thank you for your interest in the Journal of Integrative Plant Biology (JIPB), formerly Acta Botanica Sinica. For expedient manuscript processing, we hope you carefully read the guidelines below before the preparation and submission of your manuscript.
Scope
The aim of JIPB is to report novel scientific discoveries related to any aspects of plant biology, using integrative genetic, genomic, biochemical, molecular, physiological and systems biology approaches, and to foster communication and discussion among scientists in different areas of plant and agricultural sciences.
Articles submitted to JIPB should fit into one of the following 10 themes: 1) Cell and Developmental Biology; 2) Functional Omics and Systems Biology; 3) Metabolism and Biochemistry; 4) Molecular Ecology and Evolution; 5) Molecular Physiology; 6) Photosynthesis and Crop Physiology; 7) Abiotic Stress Responses; 8) Plant Biotic Interactions; 9) Plant Reproductive Biology and 10) Global Change Biology.
Our primary focus is to publish articles that are able to provide answers to significant questions in the general area of plant biology, and to report new technologies and resources essential for such studies. Preliminary observations, purely descriptive studies, omics-studies without functional validation, plant tissue culture and transformation fall beyond the scope of the journal.
