Plant Development and EvoDevo publishes significant findings and major advances across the entire field of plant development, which broadly encompasses studies on initiation, growth, and morphogenesis of plant organs and tissues in all land plant clades, including non-models, model systems, and crop species. The section welcomes studies that help tie together organismal form and function via cell biology, genetics, and evolutionary biology, as well as morphometrics, computer-modeling, and all areas of omics and systems biology, to determine how structure is generated. Topics covered by the section include but are not limited to:
· Initiation, growth, and morphogenesis of plant organs and tissues
· Hormonal regulation of developmental processes
· Evolution of developmental mechanisms
· Plant reproduction, from flowering induction to fruit development, apomixis, gametogenesis, fertilization mechanisms
· Embryogenesis
· Seed biology as it relates to seed development
· Novel genetic methods, tools, and resources pushing forward the study of plant development
· Analytical articles, including computational meta-analysis of existing data sets or modelling of developmental processes
· Informatic and computational analyses of genes and genomes that shed light on plant developmental processes and address clear hypotheses relating to developmental processes
Studies that attempt to unravel developmental mechanisms or that put development in the context of plant function and evolution are especially welcome. Purely descriptive or derivative studies that do not address a clear developmental hypothesis or only provide incremental advancement of knowledge (e.g. studies describing morphological structures with no clear framework of underlying developmental principles, pure transcriptomic studies that do not provide an advance in our knowledge of plant development) do not fall within the scope of the section. Papers describing fossil specimens are not considered for review.
