The scope of the journal of Plant Molecular Biology Reporter has expanded to keep pace with new developments in molecular biology and the broad area of genomics. The journal now solicits papers covering myriad breakthrough technologies and discoveries in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other ‘omics’, as well as bioinformatics. As an international journal of plant molecular biology and the collective ‘omics’, we invite contributing authors to submit original full-length articles as well as short research reports that will have a fundamental impact on the knowledge base and technical prowess in these various areas. The journal will publish articles covering novel discoveries, mini-reviews, critical reports, and original methods (including bioinformatic tools). Regarding ‘methods’, the journal will no longer publish articles covering slight modifications/improvements of well-established protocols that are adaptable to a different plant species. It is important to note that only original and novel methods will be considered for publication. As this is an international journal, we welcome and encourage submission of articles from the international community of scientists.

《植物分子生物學(xué)雜志》的報(bào)道范圍已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大，以跟上分子生物學(xué)和基因組學(xué)的新發(fā)展。該雜志現(xiàn)在征集的論文涵蓋了分子生物學(xué)、基因組學(xué)、蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)、代謝組學(xué)和其他“組學(xué)”以及生物信息學(xué)領(lǐng)域的無數(shù)突破性技術(shù)和發(fā)現(xiàn)。作為一份國際植物分子生物學(xué)和集體“組學(xué)”雜志，我們邀請(qǐng)投稿作者提交完整的原創(chuàng)文章和簡短的研究報(bào)告，這將對(duì)這些領(lǐng)域的知識(shí)庫和技術(shù)實(shí)力產(chǎn)生根本性的影響。該雜志將發(fā)表文章，涵蓋新發(fā)現(xiàn)、小型評(píng)論、批評(píng)報(bào)告和原始方法(包括生物信息學(xué)工具)。關(guān)于“方法”，該雜志將不再發(fā)表文章，內(nèi)容涉及對(duì)適用于不同植物物種的成熟協(xié)議的微小修改/改進(jìn)。值得注意的是，只有原創(chuàng)和新穎的方法才會(huì)被考慮出版。由于這是一份國際期刊，我們歡迎并鼓勵(lì)國際科學(xué)家團(tuán)體提交文章。
