Plant Physiology® Upcoming Focus Issues

Plant Systems Biology (February 2010)
Guest Editors: Jacques Joyard and Sheila McCormick
Submission Deadline: October 1, 2009

This issue will cover many different aspects of plant science, ranging from collections of physiological data with quantified molecular parts lists (e.g. genes, expression levels, localizations) to abstract mathematical modeling of biological processes. Research articles that provide mechanistic insight into the regulation and function of complex systems in diverse areas of plant biology and/or interactions of plants with other organisms will be considered.

Plant Cell Walls (June 2010)

Guest Editors: Maureen McCann and Jocelyn Rose
Submission Deadline: February 1, 2010

This issue will focus on the functions of cell wall components in the molecular architecture of the wall and in plant growth and development, including interactions with endogenous mechanisms of signal transduction, or in response to pathogens or other environmental stimuli. Research articles reporting on all aspects of cell wall biology from genetic functional analysis to biophysical studies will be considered.
