Molecular Plant Sciences
A section of Current Issues in Molecular Biology (ISSN 1467-3045).
Section Information
The section on “Molecular Plant Sciences” in Current Issues in Molecular Biology publishes review articles and regular research articles in the fields of plant molecular, structural, functional, and experimental botany and biochemistry. The main aim of Molecular Plant Sciences is to encourage scientists and research groups to publish theoretical and experimental results of research in all fundamental and applied fundamental fields of plant science.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Plant genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics;
- Plant cytology and histology;
- Plant anatomy and morphology;
- Molecular biology of plant stress (salt stress, waterlogging stress, drought stress, damage stress, etc.);
- Molecular biology of plant disease resistance (fungal diseases, bacterial diseases, viral diseases, etc.);
- Plant–microbe interactions;
- Molecular biology of plant insect resistance;
- Plant developmental biology;
- Plant regeneration and developmental biology;
- Plant genetic transformation and new germplasm creation;
- Plant systems biology;
- Plant evolutionary biology and paleobotany;
- Plant nutrition and the environment;
- Molecular mechanisms of nitrogen reduction and pesticide reduction;
- Gene mining and functional research;
- Gene expression and regulation;
- Rhizosphere microorganisms and plant growth and development.
