Plant Signaling & Behavior is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, published monthly online. This journal publishes original research articles and reviews covering the latest aspects of: molecules and organelles, tissues and organs, as related to signal perception and transduction, signalling complexes (signalosomes), action potentials and hydraulic signals, integrative plant body and physiology, plant and abiotic environment, plant and biotic environment, as well as information acquisition and processing. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The overriding criteria for publication in Plant Signaling & Behavior are originality, scientific merit and general interest.
