Journal Title：American Journal Of Botany

The American Journal of Botany (AJB), the flagship journal of the Botanical Society of America (BSA), publishes peer-reviewed, innovative, significant research of interest to a wide audience of plant scientists in all areas of plant biology (structure, function, development, diversity, genetics, evolution, systematics), all levels of organization (molecular to ecosystem), and all plant groups and allied organisms (cyanobacteria, algae, fungi, and lichens). AJB requires authors to frame their research questions and discuss their results in terms of major questions of plant biology. In general, papers that are too narrowly focused, purely descriptive, natural history, broad surveys, or that contain only preliminary data will not be considered.

American Journal of Botany (AJB) 是美国植物学会 (BSA) 的旗舰期刊，它发表经过同行评审的、创新的、重要的研究成果，让植物生物学各个领域的广大植物科学家感兴趣（结构、功能、发育、多样性、遗传学、进化、系统学）、所有层次的组织（分子到生态系统）以及所有植物群和相关生物（蓝藻、藻类、真菌和地衣）。 AJB 要求作者根据植物生物学的主要问题来构建他们的研究问题并讨论他们的结果。一般来说，过于狭隘、纯粹描述性、自然历史、广泛调查或仅包含初步数据的论文将不予考虑。
