Functional Plant Biology (formerly known as Australian Journal of Plant Physiology) publishes papers of a broad interest that advance our knowledge on mechanisms by which plants operate and interact with environment. Of specific interest are mechanisms and signal transduction pathways by which plants adapt to extreme environmental conditions such as high and low temperatures, drought, flooding, salinity, pathogens, and other major abiotic and biotic stress factors. FPB also encourages papers on emerging concepts and new tools in plant biology, and studies on the following functional areas encompassing work from the molecular through whole plant to community scale. FPB does not publish merely phenomenological observations or findings of merely applied significance.Focus areas:Environmental physiologyStress and adaptationPlant cell biologyPlant growth and developmentPhotosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolismNutrient uptake, transport and metabolismEffective resource utilisation (water; assimilates; nutrients)Root – rhizosphere biologyReproduction, seed and fruit biologyDefence and protectionEmerging sciencePerspective articles and focused reviews on these topics are welcome.
