Plant Physiology is an integrative area of plant sciences that studies a wide array of physiological processes and environmental responses in plants at multiple scales, from molecules to pathways, from cells to tissues, from organisms to ecosystems. The sessile lifestyle of plants has led to the evolution of sophisticated adaptive mechanisms that enable plants to thrive in a variety of climates and environmental conditions. In-depth understanding of those fundamental mechanisms and how they fit together to make a functional plant is the central goal of plant physiology as a research field. We value scientific contributions in all areas of plant physiology that shed light on plant function, including gene regulation, signaling, phytohormones, mutation, photosynthesis, development, tropic and adaptive responses, transpiration, circadian clock, respiration, nutrition, resource allocation, water utilization, primary and secondary metabolism, transport, RNA and protein function, chromatin, organelles, ecophysiology and other pertinent areas of plant biology. We especially welcome manuscripts that improve the mechanistic understanding of different aspects of plant physiology and address new and long-standing questions in plant sciences.
