Journal Title：Plant Methods

Plant Methods is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences.

There is no doubt that we have entered an exciting new era in plant biology. The completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence, and the rapid progress being made in other plant genomics projects are providing unparalleled opportunities for progress in all areas of plant science. Nevertheless, enormous challenges lie ahead if we are to understand the function of every gene in the genome, and how the individual parts work together to make the whole organism. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented collaborative effort, combining high-throughput, system-wide technologies with more focused approaches that integrate traditional disciplines such as cell biology, biochemistry and molecular genetics.

Technological innovation is probably the most important catalyst for progress in any scientific discipline. Plant Methods’ goal is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools and, where appropriate, to promote consistency of methodologies for better integration of data from different laboratories.

Plant Methods 是一本面向植物研究界的開放獲取、同行評審的在線期刊，涵蓋植物科學技術創新的各個方面。

毫無疑問，我們已經進入了植物生物學一個令人興奮的新時代。擬南芥基因組序列的完成以及其他植物基因組學項目的快速進展為植物科學所有領域的進步提供了無與倫比的機會。然而，如果我們要了解基因組中每個基因的功能，以及各個部分如何協同工作以形成整個生物體，那么我們仍將面臨巨大的挑戰。實現這些目標需要前所未有的合作努力，將高通量、全系統的技術與更有針對性的方法相結合，這些方法整合了細胞生物學、生物化學和分子遺傳學等傳統學科。

技術創新可能是任何科學學科進步的最重要催化劑。 Plant Methods 的目標是促進新舊改進技術和研究工具的開發和采用，并在適當情況下促進方法的一致性，以便更好地整合來自不同實驗室的數據。

Plant Methods創刊于2005年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 植物科學全領域，此刊是該細分領域中屬于非常不錯的SCI期刊，在行業細分領域中學術影響力較大，專業度認可很高，所以對原創文章要求創新性較高，如果您的文章質量很高，可以嘗試。平均審稿速度 較慢,6-12周 ，影響因子指數4.7，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。
