Established in 1926, Plant Physiology® is a premier international journal devoted to all aspects of the plant biology, from the structural and molecular to systems and ecophysiology. Plant Physiology® is one of the oldest and most well-respected journals in the field and is the most highly cited journal in the plant sciences.  Plant Physiology® is a publication of the American Society of Plant Biologists.

Plant Physiology will publish the pre-proofed, pre-copyedited accepted manuscript online in advance of final publication. This will be replaced by a corrected proof in advance of final publication in an issue.

Scope of the Journal
Plant Physiology is an international journal that publishes on the broadest aspects of plant biology. The journal welcomes original submissions that offer new and fundamental insights into the origins, development, and function of plants from the molecular to the whole organism and its interactions within the biotic and abiotic environment. Plant Physiology encourages submissions that span a range of technologies, including those of structural, molecular, and cellular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioenergetics, genetics, physiology, and field-based approaches as well as those making use of the tools of synthetic biology, modeling, bioinformatics, and all types of “omics”. Manuscripts submitted to Plant Physiology must not be under simultaneous consideration or have been published elsewhere, either in part or in whole. Prior publication on preprint servers, as a poster abstract or an oral presentation or as thesis for a degree is not considered previous publication of the research.
