Plant Science
Empowering a community publishing articles in Plant Genetics, Biochemistry, Physiology, Development, Morphology, Ecology, Evolution, Systematics, and Phenomics and more
To date, over 5,335 articles in Plant Science have been published with more than 83,599 citations from authors in 126 countries.
Publish Plant Science research with PLOS to help accelerate discovery.
Our community is a collaboration between authors, editors and reviewers. In-house editorial subject experts work alongside section editors, academic editors, and journal editorial boards to provide accurate assessment that readers can trust.
We put research and researchers first, collaborating to make science, and the process of publishing science, fair, equitable, and accessible for the whole community.
