The Plant Journal (TPJ) publishes four categories of papers:Original Research ArticlesThe aim of TPJ is to publish exciting, high quality science that addresses fundamental questions in plant biology. Typically, the research will provide insight into an as yet unknown mechanism or poorly understood process, will constitute a highly significant contribution to our understanding of plants, and be of general interest to the plant science community. All areas of plant biology are welcome and the experimental approaches used can be wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. Many fully-sequenced genomes and related technologies are now available. TPJ welcomes functional genomics manuscripts when a scientific question, rather than the technology used, has driven the research.Technical AdvancesTechnical Advance articles must be useful to a large proportion of the community and not be narrow in scope. Demonstration of how the Technical Advance has led to new insights into a biological mechanism must also be made. Manuscripts that describe significant advances in the use of an already existing technology will be considered, but variations on existing methods, or improvements on vectors, would not qualify for consideration.Resource ArticlesResource articles will typically be data-rich and provide an important, novel reference source for the field. Such an article could encompass a careful comparative analysis of ecotypes or strains of a model or reference organism, but also large-scale reference datasets derived from transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics that the community will likely continue to use for metadata analysis leading to novel biological insights. First time genome sequences of plant or algal species or specific ecotypes or strains of a reference organism, and the respective comparative genomic analysis, will be welcome under this category. Metabolic flux maps and their computational basis, or newly reconstructed metabolic networks for reference organisms or specific tissues, will also be considered. Resource articles covering large-scale datasets must have a concise conclusion highlighting examples of novel biological insights and/or how these data might lead to such insights in the future through continued metadata analysis.Special Issue articlesTPJ aims to publish special issues on a regular basis, typically comprising specially commissioned review papers on an emerging topic identified by the Editorial Board. Unsolicited review articles will not be considered.

植物雜志(TPJ)發表四類論文:原始研究的文章TPJ的目標是發表令人興奮的，高質量的科學，解決植物生物學的基本問題。一般來說，這項研究將提供對一個未知的機制或知之甚少的過程的深入了解，將對我們對植物的理解做出重大貢獻，并對植物科學界產生普遍的興趣。歡迎所有領域的植物生物學和實驗方法的使用可以廣泛和跨學科。許多全序列基因組和相關技術現在都是可用的。TPJ歡迎功能基因組手稿，當一個科學問題，而不是使用的技術，推動了研究。技術進步技術進步文章必須對社區的大部分人有用，而且范圍不能狹窄。還必須證明技術進步如何導致對生物機制的新見解。將審議描述在使用現有技術方面取得重大進展的手稿，但現有方法的變化或載體的改進將不符合審議的資格。資源的文章資源文章通常數據豐富，為該領域提供了一個重要的、新穎的參考源。這樣的文章可以包含對模型或參考生物的生態型或菌株的仔細比較分析，也可以包含來自轉錄組學、蛋白質組學或代謝組學的大規模參考數據集，社區可能會繼續使用這些數據集進行元數據分析，從而獲得新的生物學見解。植物或藻類物種或特定生態型或參考生物菌株的首次基因組序列，以及各自的比較基因組分析，將在這一類別下受到歡迎。還將考慮代謝通量圖及其計算基礎，或為參考生物或特定組織重新構建的代謝網絡。涵蓋大型數據集的資源文章必須有一個簡潔的結論，突出新生物學見解的例子，以及/或這些數據如何在未來通過持續的元數據分析導致這些見解。特刊文章TPJ的目標是定期出版特刊，通常包括對編輯委員會確定的新興主題的專門委托評審論文。未經請求的評論文章將不予考慮。
