Description
Trends in Plant Science is the No. 1 monthly review journal in plant science with broad coverage of basic plant science, from molecular biology through to ecology, including:

Plant growth and development; developmental genetics and evolution; genome studies and molecular genetics; molecular cell biology; biotechnology, cell signalling and gene regulation; physiology and metabolism; nutrition; water relations and gas exchange; biotic interactions and symbiosis; pathology and stress physiology; population genetics and ecology; molecular systematics.

Essential reading for those working in plant science or in related specialist areas, Trends in Plant Science provides instant overview of current thinking for students, academic, industrial and applied scientists who want to keep up with the latest developments in plant science.

Short, authoritative Review and Opinion articles on basic research topics allow researchers to follow trends and important developments outside their specialist area. The additional Update section featuring Research Focus articles is designed to highlight recent advances in a particular research field providing insight on the implications of the new developments as well as future perspectives and directions

Ethics in Publishing: General Statement
The Editor(s) and Publisher of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly or professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this Journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the Journal is the safest course. All submissions to the Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the Journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.
