Botany: Open Access Resources

Journal of Plant Interactions is a fully open access journal that publishes research on the interactions of plants with their surrounding environment. Journal of Plant Interactions aims to inform all plant biologists, plant physiologists, ecologists, mycologists, microbiologists, agronomists, landscape architects, environmental engineers, entomologists, students and all researchers interested in biological struggle and sustainable use of natural resources.

Plant Production Science is an international, open access journal publishing original research reports on field crops and resource plants, their production and related subjects. Plant Production Science is the official English journal of Crop Science Society of Japan. The journal spans the disciplines of physiology, biotechnology, morphology, ecology, cropping system, production technology and post-harvest management.

Plant Signaling & Behavior includes new research on signal perception and transduction, integrative plant physiology, and information acquisition and processing. Plant Signaling & Behavior fosters an understanding of complex plant communications. The journal examines different levels of biological organization through the integration of molecular biology with physiology, phenomenology, and plant behavior.

Plant Biotechnology Journal presents research at the forefront of applied plant science and molecular plant sciences. Published in partnership with the Society for Experimental Biology (SEB) and the Association of Applied Biology (AAB) it is dedicated to showcasing original research and insightful reviews by renowned researchers in the field of plant biotechnology. With a focus on high-impact studies, it provides a platform for the most significant advancements in applied plant science, emphasizing the molecular aspects and practical applications of plant biotechnology.

The gold open access journal of the Botanical Society of America, Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) promotes the dissemination and evaluation of new tools and protocols. APPS publishes innovative methods, novel applications, data resources, software, and review articles in all areas of the plant sciences.

Quantitative Plant Biology is an open access journal, co-published by Cambridge University Press and The John Innes Centre with the aim of providing an interdisciplinary forum for high quality research on ground-breaking discoveries and predictions in quantitative plant science. The journal welcomes submissions at all biological scales (from molecular through cellular and organismal to populations) and from a wide range of sources (from lab to field). The journal also welcomes the submission of quantitative studies involving citizen science. The core of the publication strategy will be to enhance our quantitative understanding of how plants function from a physiological and evolutionary perspective.

Botanical Studies is an open access journal that encompasses all aspects of botany, including but not limited to taxonomy, morphology, development, genetics, evolution, reproduction, systematics, and biodiversity of all plant groups, algae, and fungi. The journal is affiliated with the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan.

Plant-Environment Interactions, PEI, is a broad spectrum, open access journal welcoming all plant research, emphasizing that every plant process ultimately enables it to grow in, and interact with, our wider environment. We are author friendly and offer a fast and efficient route to the publication of sound research from right across the molecular, ecological and environmental science communities, including plants and people. Our journal is global in scope and particularly broad and wide ranging in scale, covering everything from plant cell and molecular biology, including development and physiology, through ecology and environmental change, to society and conservation.

The Great Lakes Botanist (formerly The Michigan Botanist through Volume 55, online ISSN 2166-4374), established in 1962, is the open access, peer-reviewed, quarterly journal of the Michigan Botanical Society. There are no article processing charges or page charges. Authors of articles submitted for publication retain full, unrestricted, copyright and publication rights in their published articles. The journal publishes papers on the botany of North America generally, but maintains the Great Lakes region as one area of special focus. The Great Lakes region is defined as the entirety of the states and provinces bordering any of the Great Lakes, that is, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, and New York. Articles may be submitted to the editor at the email address given at the bottom of this page. The Great Lakes Botanist publishes papers on all aspects of the natural history of plants of North America north of Mexico, including systematics, floristics, ecology, conservation, botanical history, restoration, and other areas of organismal botany. Plant groups include vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi, and algae.
