Frontiers in Plant Science is a leading, multidisciplinary journal that seeks to advance our understanding of fundamental processes in plant biology.

Led by Field Chief Editor Prof. Chun-Ming Liu (Peking University, China) and indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, and Scopus, among others, the journal seeks original and significant contributions that cultivate plant biology and its applications. The journal has the long-term goal of supporting sustainable development, food security, functional ecosystems, biotechnology (including biofuels and biomaterials), and human health.

Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes Original Research, Review, Opinion, and Perspective articles, among other submission types, covering the journal’s specialty sections:

• aquatic photosynthetic organisms
• crop and product physiology
• functional plant ecology
• functional and applied plant genomics
• photosynthesis and photobiology
• plant abiotic stress
• plant bioinformatics
• plant biophysics and modeling
• plant biotechnology
• plant breeding
• plant cell biology
• plant development and EvoDevo
• plant genetics, epigenetics and chromosome biology
• plant membrane traffic and transport
• plant metabolism and chemodiversity
• plant nutrition
• plant pathogen interactions
• plant physiology
• plant proteomics and protein structural biology
• plant symbiotic interactions
• plant systematics and evolution
• plant systems and synthetic biology
• sustainable and intelligent phytoprotection
• technical advances in plant science.

Furthermore, the journal welcomes submissions that support and advance the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 13: climate action and SDG 15: life on land.

  
Frontiers in Plant Science is committed to advancing developments in the field of plant biology by allowing unrestricted access to articles and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
