Functional Plant Biology

"Functional Plant Biology" (ISSN: 1445-4408) is a leading monthly research journal (Impact Factor for 2005 of 2.496) published by CSIRO Publishing. FPB publishes original, high-quality contributions in plant physiology, including full papers on experimental or theoretical work, review articles, Viewpoints, Research Notes, Methodological papers and Comments. The scope of FPB covers biochemistry, biophysics, developmental biology, cell and molecular biology, and plant-environment and plant-microbe interactions, and the integration of all of these areas. There are no arbitrary restrictions on the length of papers, and there are no page charges. FPB welcomes papers from any part of the world and uses expert reviewers from a wide range of countries.

FPB has very close links with the Australian Society of Plant Scientists, and sponsors the prestigious Goldacre award, and also presents an annual award for the FPB-ASPS Best Paper.
