Journal Title：Functional Plant Biology

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.

Functional Plant Biology is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.

Functional Plant Biology is published in affiliation with the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology and in Australia, is associated with the Australian Society of Plant Scientists and the New Zealand Society of Plant Biologists.

Functional Plant Biology（前身为《澳大利亚植物生理学杂志》）发表广受关注的论文，这些论文增进了我们对植物运作和与环境相互作用机制的认识。特别感兴趣的是植物适应极端环境条件的机制和信号转导途径，例如高温和低温、干旱、洪水、盐度、病原体和其他主要的非生物和生物胁迫因素。 FPB 还鼓励有关植物生物学中新兴概念和新工具的论文，以及对以下功能领域的研究，包括从分子到整个植物到群落规模的工作。 FPB 不仅仅发表现象学观察或仅具有应用意义的发现。

《功能植物生物学》的出版得到了英联邦科学与工业研究组织 (CSIRO) 和澳大利亚科学院的认可。

Functional Plant Biology 隶属于欧洲植物生物学协会联合会，在澳大利亚出版，与澳大利亚植物科学家协会和新西兰植物生物学家协会有关联。
