Journal Title：Molecular Breeding

Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.

All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.

Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.

Molecular Breeding core areas:

Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.

《分子育種》是一本國際期刊，發表有關植物分子生物學應用的論文，即最有可能產生實際應用的研究。實際應用可能涉及發展中國家和工業化國家，對種子行業、農民、加工業、環境和消費者都有明顯的好處。

發表的所有論文都應有助于理解和推進現代植物育種，涵蓋分子生物學、生物化學、遺傳學、生理學、病理學、植物育種和生態學等科學學科。

《分子育種》歡迎以下類別的論文：全文、短文、描述新方法的論文和評論論文。所有投稿都將接受同行評審，以確保達到最高的科學質量標準。

分子育種核心領域：

分子育種將考慮描述分子遺傳學和基因組分析的當代方法、作物的結構和功能基因組學、蛋白質組學和代謝分析、非生物脅迫和含有特定性狀的轉基因作物的田間評估的稿件。關于標記輔助育種的稿件也備受關注，特別是標記輔助育種的新方法和新成果、QTL 克隆、傳統和標記輔助育種的整合以及作物中的 QTL 研究。

Molecular Breeding創刊于1995年，由Springer Netherlands出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋農林科學 - 農藝學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約1.5月 ，影響因子指數2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
