Plant & Cell Physiology (PCP) was established in 1959 and is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists (JSPP). The title reflects the journal’s original interest and scope to encompass research not just at the whole-organism level but also at the cellular and subcellular levels. Amongst the broad range of topics covered by this international journal, readers will find the very best original research on plant physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetics, epigenetics, biotechnology, bioinformatics and –omics; as well as how plants respond to and interact with their environment (abiotic and biotic factors), and the biology of photosynthetic microorganisms. In 2000, PCP transitioned to print and online publication with Oxford University Press. We publish one volume per year, which consists of twelve monthly issues, and our current impact factor is 4.059 (five-year impact factor of 4.454).Each issue is primarily composed of regular research papers and occasional reviews (mostly submitted on an invitation-only basis). We also publish ‘rapid papers’ containing new findings of exceptional interest and novelty, which require quick publication (usually within 6 weeks of acceptance) and enhanced dissemination (i.e. free access for the first three months). Also in each issue, the Editor-In-Chief selects one article of interest to be made freely available to all readers. For a full list, please click here. In addition, each year PCP also publishes several Special Focus Issues and Spotlight issues covering a range of trending topics, as well as the Database Articles, which reports on new or significantly updated plant-oriented databases, web-based tools, and related resources for the plant research community. Plant and Cell Physiology is now recognized worldwide as one of the few long-standing, quality journals in plant sciences and we warmly welcome submissions from JSPP members as well as non-members alike.

植物與細胞生理學(PCP)成立于1959年，是日本植物生理學學會(JSPP)的官方期刊。這個標題反映了該雜志最初的興趣和范圍，不僅包括整個生物體水平的研究，也包括細胞和亞細胞水平的研究。在這本國際期刊涵蓋的廣泛主題中，讀者將發現最好的原創研究植物生理學、生物化學、細胞生物學、分子遺傳學、表觀遺傳學、生物技術、生物信息學和-組學;以及植物對環境(非生物和生物因素)的反應和相互作用，以及光合微生物的生物學。2000年，PCP與牛津大學出版社合作，轉型為印刷和在線出版。我們每年出版一冊，包括12期月刊，目前的影響因子為4.059(五年影響因子為4.454)。每期雜志主要由定期的研究論文和偶爾的評論組成(大多數是在邀請的基礎上提交的)。此外，我們亦會發表“快速論文”，內容包括特別感興趣和新穎的新發現，這些研究成果需要迅速發表(通常在接受后6周內發表)和加強傳播(即頭3個月免費閱覽)。同樣，在每期雜志中，總編選擇一篇感興趣的文章免費提供給所有讀者。欲知詳情，請按此。此外，PCP每年還出版幾期專題和專題報道，涵蓋一系列熱門話題，以及數據庫文章，這些文章報道了面向植物的數據庫、基于web的工具和植物研究社區的相關資源的最新或顯著更新。《植物與細胞生理學》現已被公認為世界上為數不多的長期出版的高質量植物科學期刊之一，我們熱忱歡迎JSPP成員和非成員提交論文。
