Journal Title：Molecular Breeding

Molecular Breeding is an international journal publishing papers on applications of plant molecular biology, i.e., research most likely leading to practical applications. The practical applications might relate to the Developing as well as the industrialised World and have demonstrable benefits for the seed industry, farmers, processing industry, the environment and the consumer.

All papers published should contribute to the understanding and progress of modern plant breeding, encompassing the scientific disciplines of molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, pathology, plant breeding, and ecology among others.

Molecular Breeding welcomes the following categories of papers: full papers, short communications, papers describing novel methods and review papers. All submission will be subject to peer review ensuring the highest possible scientific quality standards.

Molecular Breeding core areas:

Molecular Breeding will consider manuscripts describing contemporary methods of molecular genetics and genomic analysis, structural and functional genomics in crops, proteomics and metabolic profiling, abiotic stress and field evaluation of transgenic crops containing particular traits. Manuscripts on marker assisted breeding are also of major interest, in particular novel approaches and new results of marker assisted breeding, QTL cloning, integration of conventional and marker assisted breeding, and QTL studies in crop plants.

Molecular Breeding 是一份国际期刊，发表关于植物分子生物学应用的论文，即最有可能导致实际应用的研究。实际应用可能与发展中国家和工业化世界有关，对种子产业、农民、加工业、环境和消费者都有明显的好处。

所有发表的论文都应有助于现代植物育种的理解和进步，涵盖分子生物学、生物化学、遗传学、生理学、病理学、植物育种和生态学等科学学科。

Molecular Breeding 欢迎以下类别的论文：完整论文、简短交流、描述新方法的论文和评论论文。所有提交的内容都将接受同行评审，以确保尽可能高的科学质量标准。

分子育种核心领域：

Molecular Breeding 将考虑描述当代分子遗传学和基因组分析方法、作物结构和功能基因组学、蛋白质组学和代谢分析、非生物胁迫和含有特定性状的转基因作物的田间评估的手稿。标记辅助育种的手稿也引起了人们的极大兴趣，特别是标记辅助育种、QTL克隆、常规和标记辅助育种的整合以及作物植物QTL研究的新方法和新成果。
