"THE PLANT CELL was founded on four key tenets: (1) to publish the most exciting, cutting-edge research in plant cellular and molecular biology, (2) to provide the most rapid turnaround time possible for reviewing and publishing a research paper, (3) to feature the highest quality reproduction of data, and (4) to provide, in the front section of the journal, a more interactive format for commentaries, opinion pieces, and the exchange of information and ideas in review articles, meeting reports, and insightful overviews of featured research papers. Our series of all-review issues, each of which focuses on a specific area of plant biology, are highly regarded teaching and reference tools. " The journal provides free full-text and abstracts of articles for all issues older than twelve months.
