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.

《植物分子生物學雜志》的報道范圍已經擴大，以跟上分子生物學和基因組學的新發展。該雜志現在征集的論文涵蓋了分子生物學、基因組學、蛋白質組學、代謝組學和其他“組學”以及生物信息學領域的無數突破性技術和發現。作為一份國際植物分子生物學和集體“組學”雜志，我們邀請投稿作者提交完整的原創文章和簡短的研究報告，這將對這些領域的知識庫和技術實力產生根本性的影響。該雜志將發表文章，涵蓋新發現、小型評論、批評報告和原始方法(包括生物信息學工具)。關于“方法”，該雜志將不再發表文章，內容涉及對適用于不同植物物種的成熟協議的微小修改/改進。值得注意的是，只有原創和新穎的方法才會被考慮出版。由于這是一份國際期刊，我們歡迎并鼓勵國際科學家團體提交文章。
