    GENERAL INFORMATION

The /Journal of Experimental Botany/ publishes high-quality primary
research papers together with Review articles and Special issues in the
plant sciences.

/Full-length primary papers/ should contribute to our understanding of
how plants develop and function, and should provide new insights into
biological processes. The journal will not publish purely descriptive
papers or papers that report a well-known process in a species in which
the process has not been identified previously. Articles should be
concise and generally limited to 10 printed pages.

/Review Articles/ are published regularly as /Perspectives in
Experimental Botany/. /Opinion papers/ that express a particular point
of view on a controversial topic relevant to any aspect of plant science
are also considered. Outlines of proposed reviews and opinions should be
submitted to j.exp.bot@lancaster.ac.uk <javascript:encrypt('j.exp.bot',
'lancaster.ac.uk', '' );> for consideration before preparation of a full
manuscript.

/Special Issues/ containing reviews and occasionally one or two primary
papers in a specified subject area are published at intervals. Reviews
should not be encyclopaedic, will ideally contain the author's views and
be pitched at a level that will appeal to the non-specialist as well as
those who work in the field. If primary papers are submitted for a
Special Issue, then the Introduction should be longer than usual to help
orientate the reader within the field, and the Discussion should also
help to explain the context of the work.

/Gene Notes/. Please note that Gene Notes are no longer considered for
publication.

    SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

All manuscripts should now be submitted via Bench>Press, our new online
manuscript submission and review system. If you are unable to submit in
this way please contact the editorial office. To submit online please go
to http://submit-jxb.oxfordjournals.org/ and follow the instructions for
creating an account (or sign in) and submitting your manuscript. Before
submitting your manuscript please read and follow the Journal guidelines
for presentation
<http://www.oxfordjournals.org/exbotj/for_authors/index.html#guide>.
If this is the first time you use the ‘Bench>Press system’ please click
on ‘Create an account’ and register following the website’s
instructions. If you are already registered with JXB Bench>Press, please
Sign in by using your e-mail as your username, and your password. If you
have forgotten your password, you can obtain a new one by clicking on
lost password <http://submit-jxb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/lostPassword>.
Here you will be prompted to enter your e-mail address. The next page
will ask you your security question. After entering your security
question, a new password will be e-mailed to you (you can always change
a password on your Personal Information page).

After you have logged in, please enter the ‘Author Area’ and select
‘Submit a new manuscript’. Fill in all the required fields:
1. Manuscript metadata: Number of authors, article type, title, running
title, keywords, abstract, covering letter, submission agreement and
suggested editors. You are required to suggest three potential
reviewers. You can also exclude reviewers, if so please state your
reasons on the covering letter. In both cases please provide as much
information as possible.

2. Author(s) information: Please enter the name, institution, and e-mail
for each author in the order they appear on the manuscript.

3. File upload metadata: number of images and supplementary files that
you will upload, which are not included in the manuscript file. Please
fill in all the required fields: number of pages and figures, number of
colour and black and white figures, number of tables.

4. Upload your file(s): a single Word or PDF file with tables and
figures included is the preferable format. Please note that before
creating your .PDF file, fonts (Asian, Cyrillic, Eastern European, and
Middle Eastern) should be embedded in the document. Embedding ensures
that all readers can view the document in any system. Please embed all
fonts even if you think you have not used any special fonts. They are
often left in the original Word document or may occur in graphics and
may not even be visible (see Acrobat Help: 'Embedding Fonts').

Alternatively, if tables are uploaded separately, these should be Word
or PDF. If figures are not included in the text, they should be
submitted as .JPG, TIFF or .GIF, and should be clearly labelled. After
all the files are uploaded, they will be converted to a single PDF,
which will be used during the review process.

5. Approval: Once the file(s) have been successfully converted to PDF,
you will receive an e-mail notification and will be asked to return to
your ‘Author Area’ to approve the conversion. Your references
(regardless of the file format uploaded) will be copied and converted
into a linked HTML file which you will also be able to proof.
If reference is made to a paper "in press", a proof of this should also
be submitted.
If any material from other publications is included, it should be
clearly referenced and copyright permission sought before submission.
Please see section ‘Permission to reproduce figures’.


    GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION


    GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATION

Manuscripts should be typewritten on one side only of an A4 sheet,
double-spaced throughout and with at least a 4 cm margin on the left.
Manuscripts should be written in the third person. Number all pages of
the manuscript consecutively on the right bottom side and number lines
of the text in the left-hand margin. Page and line number helps
reviewers and editors to refer easily to specific sections of the
manuscript. Please note that manuscripts without page and line numbering
will be returned to authors for correction before being considered
further. For primary research articles, the manuscript should be
arranged in the following order: Title Page Abstract Introduction
Materials and Methods Results Discussion (it might be combined with
Results) Supplementary Material (if applicable) Acknowledgements
References Tables Figure Legends Figures

The Title Page should contain the title, the name(s) of the author(s),
the name(s) and address(es) of the institution(s) where the work was
carried out, followed by the contact details of the author to whom
correspondence should be sent (address, telephone, fax, and e-mail). The
date of submission and the number of tables and figures should also be
given on the first page. The Title should be specific and concise but
informative to those scanning contents listings and abstract journal.
Authors should also suggest a short running title. Please do not add the
running title as a header. The Abstract should not exceed 250 words; it
should contain no discursive matter or references. Authors should
suggest no more than ten Key words for their article in alphabetical
order. Data should not be presented in both tabular and graphical form.
Large bodies of primary data should not be included in the manuscript
but they could be presented as ‘Supplementary Material’, which will be
published online at the time of publication.
EndNote users can find the style for the Journal of Experimental Botany
here <http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp>


    ABBREVIATIONS

Abbreviations and their explanation should be composed in a list.
Standard chemical symbols may be used in the text where desirable in the
interests of conciseness. For long chemical names and other cumbersome
terms, widely accepted abbreviations may be used in the text (e.g. ATP,
DNA); the list of standard abbreviations published by /The Biochemical
Journal/ (http://www.biochemj.org/bj/bji2a.htm#nomenclature
<http://www.biochemj.org/bj/bji2a.htm#nomemclature>) is an acceptable
guide. Abbreviations for the names of less common compounds may be used,
but the full term should be given on first mention. It is confusing and
unnecessary to use abbreviations for common English words (e.g. L for
light).


    SCIENTIFIC NAMES

The complete scientific name (genus, species, and authority, and
cultivar where appropriate) must be cited for every organism at the
first mention. The generic name may be abbreviated to the initial
thereafter except where intervening references to other genera with the
same initial could cause confusion. If vernacular names are employed,
they must be accompanied by the correct scientific name on first use.

    CHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY NOMENCLATURE

Follow /Chemical Abstracts/ and its indexes for chemical names. The
IUPAC and IUBMB recommendations on chemical, biochemical, and molecular
biology nomenclature should be followed for amino acids, peptides,
enzymes, nucleic acids, polynucleotides, carbohydrates, and lipids(see
http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac and /iubmb
<http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb>). Back to Contents <#contents>
Nomenclature for genes and proteins must follow international standards.
It is important to differentiate between genes and proteins. Italics is
a standard for genes, so all gene symbols and loci should be in italics
and capitalization as it applies for each organism's standard
nomenclature format, in text, tables, and figures. Full gene names are
generally not in italics. Proteins should appear in Roman type.
Nomenclature conventions differ amongst species, please follow them
accordingly. Arabidopsis:
http://www.arabidopsis.org/portals/nomenclature/guidelines.jsp Maize:
http://www.maizegdb.org/maize_nomenclature.phpRice:
http://www.gramene.org/documentation/nomenclature/rice_gene_nomen.pdf
Tomato: http://tgrc.ucdavis.edu/ Wheat: http://www.k-state.edu/wgrc/

Deposition of sequence data (proteins or nucleotide), array data,
molecular interaction data, and any other data where there is a publicly
held database is required before publication of the manuscript; and the
database accession number must be given in the manuscript (Methods
section). Appropriate databases for protein and nucleic acid sequences
are: EMBL; GenBank or the Protein Data Bank. Genomic and proteomic data
and other forms of high-throughput data should be deposited to the NCBI
gene expression and hybridization array data repository (GEO), and the
accession number must be provided. Microarray Gene Expression Data
should be MIAME compliant.

Back to Contents


    UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

The metric system is adopted as standard. The system of units known as
'SI' should be used. If non-standard abbreviations must be used they
should be defined in the text. Units of measurement should be spelled
out except when preceded by a numeral, when they should be abbreviated
in the standard form: g, mg, cm^3 , etc. and not followed by full stops.
Use negative exponents to indicate units in the denominator (i.e. mmol
m^-2 s^-1 ).
Back to Contents <#contents>


    SEQUENCE DATA

Deposition of amino acid sequences of proteins or nucleotide sequences
is required before publication, and the database accession number must
be given in the text of the manuscript. Microarray Gene Expression Data
should comply with the minimum information about microarray experiments
standard (MIAME; see www.mged.org/miame for more information.)
Back to Contents <#contents>


    EQUATIONS

If equations require more than one level of subscript or superscript,
please use either 'Microsoft Equation Editor' or 'Math Type'. If
anything else is used, the equation has to be re-typed which makes it
vulnerable to errors.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    TABLES

Tables should be on a separate page, and should be numbered in Arabic
numerals with an appropriate legend at the head. They should be included
in the text file (either in the .PDF file for first submissions or in
the Word file for accepted manuscripts).
Back to Contents <#contents>


    FIGURES

/Figures/ should be self-explanatory and contain as much information as
is consistent with clarity. Wherever possible, figures should be grouped
to fill a page. All figures must carry the figure number in Arabic
numerals. Citation in the text should take the form Fig. 1A etc. The
minimum resolution for the figures is 300 dpi (dots per inch) for tone
or colour, 1200 dpi for line art at approximately the correct size for
publication. Colour figures should be CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black).

/Line drawings/ should be clear: faint shading or stippling will be lost
upon reproduction and should be avoided and heavy shading or stippling
may appear black. Lines and symbols should be drawn boldly enough to
stand reduction to the desired size. For /graphs/ where reduction to
one-half in linear dimensions is intended, a suitable thickness for the
axis would be 0.3 mm and for the other lines 0.4 or 1.0 mm depending on
the complexity of the graph. The preferred symbols are closed circle,
open circle, closed square, open square, closed triangle, and open
triangle and should be no smaller than 2 mm (height/diameter) for
reduction to one-half. The symbols x and + should be avoided.

The typeface used for lettering should be of a type similar in style to
the text of the journal, i.e. in a clear sans-serif font (e.g. Arial or
Helvetica). The height of the lettering should be uniform throughout and
should have a capital height of 4.0 mm on the originals for reduction to
one-half.

/Photographs/ not supplied electronically, must be of high quality,
printed on glossy paper and mounted neatly on a thin white card base,
leaving a narrow gap between each print. Irregular and asymmetrically
distributed groups of photographs will not be accepted. Individual
figures should be lettered, A, B, C, etc. on the photograph using a
lettering set. Other lettering, arrows, etc. may be put on the
photograph by the author; otherwise they should be indicated in the
exact position required on a transparent or translucent self-locating
overlay. On no account should any marks be made on the photograph itself.

/Colour figures/: If the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors
will be asked to contribute towards the cost of publication of colour
figures unless an appropriate argument to waive the charges is made.
Colour plates should be combined to make a single composite figure
whenever possible. A scale should be included; otherwise the scale of
the original should be stated in the legends so that the final scale can
be calculated.

/Legends/: A separate typewritten, double-spaced list of legends of
/all/ figures must be supplied and included in the text file. Each
legend should contain sufficient explanation to be meaningful without
cross-referencing. A scale of the original should be included in the
legend unless already indicated in the picture. A description of the
symbols used in the figures should be written out in full. (Please do
not include the character symbol in the legend.) Please be aware that
figure legends may be used by search engines for figure searches.

/Cover illustrations/ will be taken from, or be associated with, an
article that appears in the journal. Authors wishing to submit a
potential cover illustration should indicate it at the time of
submission. The potential cover illustration figures must be supplied in
electronic format and resolution must be above 300 dpi at publication
size. Please note the final image on the cover will occupy a space of 91
x 285mm.Acceptable file types, in order of preference should be tiff,
eps or high resolution jpeg .Add a short concise caption to appear on
the front cover and a more detailed legend for inside the journal.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL FOR ONLINE-ONLY PUBLICATION

Supplementary data may be submitted for online only publication if it
adds value for potential readers. However, it must not contain material
critical to the understanding of the manuscript. The hard copy of the
manuscript should stand alone, but it should be indicated at an
appropriate point in the text that supplementary material is available
on-line. In addition, the availability of supplementary material should
also be indicated in the manuscript by a section heading ‘Supplementary
Data’ with a brief description of these data to appear before the
Acknowledgements and References. Please name your supplementary material
and cite it within the manuscript as Figure S1, Table S1, Video S1, etc,
and provide a detailed legend.

*Electronic files* of supplementary material are preferable as one
complete .PDF file. If images are supplied as .GIFs or .JPEGs, the
minimum acceptable resolution for viewing on screen is 120 dpi.

*Videos: *The preferred formats for video clips are .MOV, .MPG, .AVI,
and animated .GIF files. Authors are advised to use a readily available
program to create movies so that they can be viewed easily with e.g.,
Windows Media Player or QuickTime.

*Authors should carefully check the supplementary data as this
information is not professionally copy edited or proofread. *


    LITERATURE CITATION

Citations in the text should have the authors immediately followed by
the date to facilitate the electronic linkages which are available
on-line, for example: (Shen and Ma, 2001) or Shen and Ma (2001). If
several papers by the same author in the same year are cited, they
should be lettered in sequence (2000/a/, /b/), etc. When papers are by
more than two authors they should be cited thus: (Shen /et al./, 2001).
In the list, references must be placed in alphabetical order without
serial numbering. The following standard form of citation should be
used, including the title of each paper or book:

Only papers published or in press should be cited in the literature
list. Unpublished results, including submitted manuscripts and those in
preparation, should be cited as unpublished in the text. Journal titles
should not be abbreviated but be given in full. Citation of articles
from e-journals and journal articles published ahead of print should
have the author names, year, title, journal title followed by the
assigned digital object identifier (DOI) or the appropriate URL:

    REVISED MANUSCRIPTS

Revised manuscripts should be received within four weeks of the date
from when the invitation was sent; revised manuscripts received after
this time will be considered as new submissions. Revised manuscripts
should be accompanied by a detailed response letter on how all the
concerns of the editor and referees have been addressed. Please give the
exact page number(s), paragraphs(s) and line number(s) where each
revision was made. Please copy this letter in ‘Response to reviews’
during submission.

Format: Original source files are required to avoid delays if the
manuscript is accepted. The main text must be provided as Microsoft
Word. References, Figure Legends and Tables should be included in the
Word file.

Figures should be provided as .TIFF files. The minimum resolution for
the figures is 300 dpi for tone or colour, 1200 dpi for line art at
approximately the correct size for publication. Colour figures should be
CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black).


    REVIEW PROCEDURE

The Editor makes the initial evaluation of the manuscript. If the topic
is important and relevant to the journal readership, he assigns the
manuscript to an Associate Editor, who oversees the review process.
Manuscripts are reviewed by two independent experts in the particular
area. The reviewers will make a scientific assessment and recommendation
to the Editors. In case of a disagreement, the Associate Editor may ask
a third independent expert to assess the manuscript. The Associate
Editors will reach a final decision either to accept, accept with
revision or reject a manuscript.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE FIGURES

Please note that if your manuscript includes any data in tables or
figure(s) modified or re-drawn from another publication, you will need
permission from the original publisher to reproduce it before your
manuscript can be published. This includes figures adapted in any way
from other publications. Permission to reproduce figures or data from
other publications must be sought by authors at the time of acceptance.
Please note that obtaining copyright permission could take some time. A
copy of the permission document should be sent to the Production Editor,
Journal of Experimental Botany, Oxford University Press, Great Clarendon
Street, Oxford OX2 6DP. Email: JXB production office

    OPEN ACCESS ARTICLES

Open Access articles are freely available online to any person or
library from the date of online publication. All primary papers
published after 1 April 2007 whose corresponding author’s institution
subscribes to the JXB will be published Open Access. All material
associated with that article will also be accessible to all.

Authors from non subscribing institutes can choose to make their article
Open Access, and this in turn incurs a charge of £1500/$2800/€2250. If
authors choose not to pay the fee the article will remain under
subscription access for one year, and during that time will only be
accessible to those with a personal or institutional subscription or on
a pay per view basis. After that time all online articles are freely
accessible.

Authors will be offered the Open Access option when their paper is
accepted (for more information click here
<http://www.oxfordjournals.org/exbotj/openaccess.html>, and the fee is
handled by the publisher, Oxford University Press.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    PROOFS

Proofs will be sent electronically to the corresponding author as a .PDF
file and will include illustrations set in the appropriate place in the
type. The author should make a print copy and add any necessary
typographical corrections before returning the corrected proofs by fax
to Oxford University Press (+44 (0) 1865 355817) within three days of
receipt; otherwise the Editor reserves the right to correct the proofs
and to send the material for publication. This is essential if all the
material in a given issue is not to be delayed by the late receipt of
one corrected proof.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    OFFPRINTS AND UNIQUE URL

On publication of an article, corresponding authors will receive free of
charge 25 reprints and a unique URL that gives access to both PDF and
HTML versions of the paper. The URL links visitors to the JXB site and
the complete version of the paper online with all functionality retained
is accessible regardless of subscription status. Additional offprints
may be purchased if required. Order forms
<http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/exbotj/for_authors/offprint
form.pdf>are available here to download and are sent out with the
proofs. Late orders submitted after the journal has gone to press are
subject to a 100% surcharge (to cover the additional printing cost).
Orders from UK will be subject to a 17.5% VAT charge. For orders from
the rest of the EU, we will assume that the service is provided for
business purposes, please provide a VAT number for yourself or your
institution and ensure you account for your own local VAT correctly.
Back to Contents <#contents>


    LICENCE TO PUBLISH

It is a condition of publication in the journal that authors grant an
exclusive licence to the Society for Experimental Biology
<http://www.sebiology.org/>. This ensures that requests from third
parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently
and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as
possible. In assigning the licence, authors may use their own material
in other publications provided that the journal is acknowledged as the
original place of publication, and Oxford University Press, on behalf of
the SEB, is notified in writing and in advance.
