BMC

BMC Plant Biology is an open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by BioMed Central, part of Springer Nature. It publishes original research and other scholarly article types covering the full breadth of plant biology, from molecular and cellular processes to tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Its subject areas include biochemistry and physiology, development and cell biology, genetics and crop biotechnology, genomics and evolution, plant interactions with living and non-living factors, and reproductive biology.

The journal features research articles, reviews, and methods papers, alongside content that supports data sharing and research transparency. Its published work spans topics such as crop genetics, plant stress responses, genome editing, metabolism, and plant development. Researchers can submit manuscripts for editorial consideration, consult author guidelines, and explore themed collections and featured articles. The journal also provides article alerts and news subscriptions, information about editorial opportunities, and guidance on publishing data. BMC Plant Biology supports sound scientific reporting, with editorial decisions focused primarily on the scientific validity of submitted research rather than its novelty or predicted impact.
