Plant microbiome–an account of the factors that shape community composition and diversity

Khondoker M. G. Dastogeer, Farzana Haque Tumpa, Afruja Sultana et al. · 1 Jul 2020

Plants live in association with diverse microorganisms, collectively called the microbiome. These microbes live either inside (endosphere) or outside (episphere) of plant tissues. Microbes play important roles in the ecology and physiology of plants. Significant progress has been made in revealing structure and dynamics of plant microbiome in the last few years. Various factors related…

Vital roles of carotenoids in plants and humans to deteriorate stress with its structure, biosynthesis, metabolic engineering and functional aspects

Prashant Swapnil, Mukesh Meena, Sandeep Kumar Singh et al. · 19 Apr 2021

Carotenoids are long conjugated isoprenoid molecules with over 1117 identified structures, belongs to the class of hydrocarbons, involved in a range of biological processes in plants and humans. In plant cells, plastids are the organelles that play a central role in governing biosynthesis, stability and activity of carotenoids, and their diversity. In photosynthetic tissues, carotenoids…

Plant speciation through chromosome instability and ploidy change: Cellular mechanisms, molecular factors and evolutionary relevance

Nico De Storme, Annaliese S. Mason · 1 Aug 2014

Plant speciation and diversification strongly rely on structural changes in the nuclear genome, both at the whole ploidy and individual chromosome level. Phylogenetic, comparative mapping and cytological studies have provided insights into the evolutionary mechanisms that shape the plant genome. These include major genome alterations, such as whole genome duplication and hybridization (auto- and allopolyploidy),…

Chemical elicitors of systemic acquired resistance—Salicylic acid and its functional analogs

Diwaker Tripathi, G. Raikhy, Dhirendra Kumar · 1 Jan 2019

Any interaction of plants with phytopathogens involves the generation of various chemical molecules that are critical for activation of their defense machinery. One of the chemicals, salicylic acid (SA) induces systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants. The activation of SAR provides a broad-spectrum resistance against a wide range of related or unrelated pathogens. There has…

Reclamation of arid and semi-arid soils: The role of plant growth-promoting archaea and bacteria

Ayansina Segun Ayangbenro, Olubukola Oluranti Babalola · 12 Sep 2020

Arid and semi-arid soils are characterized by nutrient deficiency and water scarcity, declining soil quality and climate regimes that are unfavorable for crop production. These environments are also affected by other inherent abiotic and biotic factors that affect the structure and function of these ecosystems. Numerous factors influence nutrient availability, plant productivity in an arid…

Current Plant Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Current Plant Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Current Plant Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Current Plant Biology use?
Current Plant Biology uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Current Plant Biology 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Current Plant Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Current Plant Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Current Plant Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Current Plant Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Current Plant Biology?
Current Plant Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Current Plant Biology template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Current Plant Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Current Plant Biology template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Current Plant Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Current Plant Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Current Plant Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
