About this Research Topic
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Plant Science is proud to offer this platform to an all-women editorial board to assemble a collection of articles in all fields of Plant Systems Biology. We welcome article submissions from everyone.
Plant systems biology offers a global view by employing a systemic approach integrating molecular data from different hierarchical levels. The scientific challenge is to integrate various biological information into a coherent whole, with an integrative process between experimental data and computational modeling. We invite articles that employ systems biology approaches to study topics from the molecular to the ecosystem levels. We particularly encourage the submission of original research articles. Other formats are welcome after the discussion with the editorial board of this Special Issue.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
