《植物信號與行為》是一份多學(xué)科的同行評議期刊，每月在網(wǎng)上發(fā)表原創(chuàng)的研究文章和評論，涵蓋了信號感知和轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)、植物綜合生理學(xué)、信息獲取和處理的最新領(lǐng)域。植物信號與行為作為一個平臺，發(fā)布與不同層次的生物組織相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù):從分子，通過蛋白質(zhì)復(fù)合物，膜，細(xì)胞器，細(xì)胞，器官，整個植物，到植物群落。該雜志還涵蓋了植物與病毒、細(xì)菌、線蟲、真菌、昆蟲和食肉動物的交流和相互作用的研究。這些相互作用可以是致病的、共生的或掠奪性的。植物信號與行為為分子生物學(xué)與生理學(xué)、現(xiàn)象學(xué)和個體有機體行為的整合提供了一個論壇，直至整個植物群落和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的系統(tǒng)分析。這一綜合的觀點將使我們能夠理解交流植物的整體復(fù)雜性。其目標(biāo)是通過使用傳統(tǒng)和電子格式及時發(fā)表重要成果，促進(jìn)交流和迅速交換信息。發(fā)表《植物信號與行為》的首要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是原創(chuàng)性、科學(xué)價值和大眾興趣。

Plant Signaling & Behavior, a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal published monthly online, publishes original research articles and reviews covering the latest aspects of signal perception and transduction, integrative plant physiology, and information acquisition and processing.Plant Signaling & Behavior serves as a platform for publication of data related to different levels of biological organization: from molecules, via protein complexes, membranes, organelles, cells, organs, whole plants, up to plant communities. This journal also covers studies on communication and interactions of plants with viruses, bacteria, nematodes, fungi, insects, and predatory animals. These interactions can be pathogenic, symbiotic or predatory.Plant Signaling & Behavior provides a forum for the integration of molecular biology with physiology, phenomenology, and behavior of individual organisms, up to the system analysis of whole plant societies and ecosystems. This integrative view will allow our understanding of communicative plants in their whole complexity.The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The overriding criteria for publication in Plant Signaling & Behavior are originality, scientific merit and general interest.
