Natural Product Reports (NPR) is a critical review journal that stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research, including isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity and synthesis. Natural Product Reports covers natural products from marine, plant, fungal and microbial environments. The scope of the journal is very broad, and many reviews discuss the role of natural products in the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic and chemical biology communities. Areas covered include the following: Total synthesis and semi-synthesis; Enzymology and structural biology; Biosynthesis and biotechnology; Nucleic acids; Genetics; Chemical ecology; Carbohydrates; Primary and secondary metabolism; Analytical techniques

The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either "Part A - Synthesis and Structure" or "Part B - Bioactive Natural Products". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.All published research articles in Natural Product Research have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

New Journal of Botany aims to become the chief forum for communicating the results of botanical studies relating to the vascular plants and charophytes of northern and western Europe. The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) wants this to be a first-rate, international, scientific journal, and the editorial board is committed to a rapid turnaround of submitted manuscripts. The journal includes not only peer-reviewed papers and short notes, but also reviews and opinion articles.

The scientific scope is broad and includes: phytogeography, floristics, distribution and recording, taxonomy, systematics and evolution, population and conservation biology, including ecological genetics, ecology (especially autecological, physiological and phenological studies), plant/animal interactions, including plant biochemistry where this relates to such. Submissions are also welcomed on the history of botany in the British Isles, especially its development in a European context, as well as topics of a more general botanical nature.

Aims and Scope New Phytologistoffers rapid publication of high quality. original research in plant science. Falling within four sections - Physiology and Development. Environment. Interaction and Evolution - articles cover topics that range from intracellular processes through to global environmental change. Cross-disciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged but for guidance the journal is organized as follows and recognizes that techniques from molecular and cell biology. and functional genomics through to modelling and system-based approaches will be applied across the whole spectrum of plant science: Physiology and Development:intra/inter-cellular signalling. long-distance signalling. physiology. development. eco-devo - phenotypic plasticity. transport. biochemistry.Environment:global change and environmental stress. ecophysiology.plant-soil interactions. heavy metals.Interaction:multitrophic systems. mycorrhizas and pathogens. fungal genomics. nitrogen-fixing symbioses.Evolution:molecular evolution. population genetics. mating systems. phylogenetics. speciation. plant-enemy coevolution. All papers must focus on timely research that provides new insights into the broad principles of plant science. The topic should be original. addressing clear hypotheses or questions and of general interest to our readers. In addition to original research articles. short Letters and other submissions to the Forum section. as well as Research reviews. Rapid reports and both Modelling/Theory and Methods papers. are also encouraged. Please refer to the full Author Guidelines for further information.New Phytologistis owned by a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of plant science. facilitating projects from symposia to open access for our Tansley reviews.

In a Linnean tradition, Nordic Journal of Botany publishes original contributions of relevance to the botanical biodiversity on earth. All aspects of the taxonomy, evolution, conservation and biogeography of plants (including algae and bryophytes) and fungi may be treated. Contributions devoted to systematics (including phylogenetics, genetic variation within and among taxa, nomenclature and descriptions and revisions of taxa), biogeography, conservation biology and recent changes and threats to botanical diversity are welcomed. In addition, manuscripts on macro- and micro-morphology, cytology, reproductive biology and ecophysiology are welcomed provided that the findings are presented in a taxonomic, evolutionary or biogeographical context. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts on original research within these fields as well as essays on recent developments in botany.

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca is a peer-reviewed biannual journal aimed at disseminating significant research and original papers, critical reviews and short reviews on plant breeding, genetics, diversity and development of new methodologies that can be of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology, agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. The journal encourages authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of the major questions of plant biology and agriculture, thereby maximizing the impact, spreading and value of their research. The papers must be of potential interest to a significant number of scientists and, if specific to a local situation, must be relevant to a wide body of knowledge in biology and agronomy. Articles should make a significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge or toward a better understanding of existing biological and agricultural concepts. An international Editorial Board advises the journal. The total content of the journal may be used for educational, non-profit purposes without regard to copyright. The distribution of the material is encouraged with the condition that the authors and the source (Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca or Not Bot Hort Agrobot Cluj) are mentioned.
