《植物細胞報告》發(fā)表了關(guān)于植物細胞科學(xué)、植物遺傳學(xué)和分子生物學(xué)各方面新進展的原創(chuàng)、同行評議的文章。選定發(fā)表的論文對明確確定的技術(shù)問題和/或生物學(xué)問題作出了重大的新進展。這些文章將被證明與具有廣泛科學(xué)背景的讀者感興趣的狹窄主題之外的相關(guān)。內(nèi)容包括基因組學(xué)與遺傳學(xué)、代謝、細胞生物學(xué)、非生物與生物脅迫、植物病理學(xué)、基因轉(zhuǎn)移與表達、分子嫁接、系統(tǒng)生物學(xué)、納米生物技術(shù)、基因組編輯、物候?qū)W與合成生物學(xué)等。該雜志還發(fā)表意見論文，評論和重點文章的最新發(fā)展和最新進展的研究和技術(shù)在植物分子生物學(xué)和生物技術(shù)。

Plant Cell Reports publishes original, peer-reviewed articles on new advances in all aspects of plant cell science, plant genetics and molecular biology. Papers selected for publication contribute significant new advances to clearly identified technological problems and/or biological questions. The articles will prove relevant beyond the narrow topic of interest to a readership with broad scientific background. The coverage includes such topics as genomics and genetics, metabolism, cell biology, abiotic and biotic stress, phytopathology, gene transfer and expression, molecular pharming, systems biology, nanobiotechnology, genome editing, phenomics and synthetic biology.The journal also publishes opinion papers, review and focus articles on the latest developments and new advances in research and technology in plant molecular biology and biotechnology.
