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.
