Most-cited papers in Plant Communications

Chloroplast ROS and stress signaling

Mengping Li, Chanhong Kim · 9 Nov 2021

Chloroplasts overproduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) under unfavorable environmental conditions, and these ROS are implicated in both signaling and oxidative damage. There is mounting evidence for their roles in translating environmental fluctuations into distinct physiological responses, but their targets, signaling cascades, and mutualism and antagonism with other stress signaling cascades and within ROS signaling remain…

Starch biosynthesis in cereal endosperms: An updated review over the last decade

Li‐Chun Huang, Hongyan Tan, Changquan Zhang et al. · 1 Sep 2021

Starch is a vital energy source for living organisms and is a key raw material and additive in the food and non-food industries. Starch has received continuous attention in multiple research fields. The endosperm of cereals (e.g., rice, corn, wheat, and barley) is the most important site for the synthesis of storage starch. Around 2010,…

Enhancing Genetic Gain through Genomic Selection: From Livestock to Plants

Yunbi Xu, Xiaogang Liu, Junjie Fu et al. · 16 Oct 2019

Although long-term genetic gain has been achieved through increasing use of modern breeding methods and technologies, the rate of genetic gain needs to be accelerated to meet humanity's demand for agricultural products. In this regard, genomic selection (GS) has been considered most promising for genetic improvement of the complex traits controlled by many genes each…

Nano-enabled agriculture: How do nanoparticles cross barriers in plants?

Honghong Wu, Zhaohu Li · 9 Jun 2022

Nano-enabled agriculture is a topic of intense research interest. However, our knowledge of how nanoparticles enter plants, plant cells, and organelles is still insufficient. Here, we discuss the barriers that limit the efficient delivery of nanoparticles at the whole-plant and single-cell levels. Some commonly overlooked factors, such as light conditions and surface tension of applied…

High-efficiency genome editing in plants mediated by a Cas9 gene containing multiple introns

Ramona Grützner, Patrick Martin, Claudia Horn et al. · 23 Nov 2020

The recent discovery of the mode of action of the CRISPR/Cas9 system has provided biologists with a useful tool for generating site-specific mutations in genes of interest. In plants, site-targeted mutations are usually obtained by the stable transformation of a Cas9 expression construct into the plant genome. The efficiency of introducing mutations in genes of…

Plant Communications template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant Communications format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant Communications 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 Plant Communications use?
Plant Communications 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, Plant Communications 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant Communications?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Plant Communications 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 Plant Communications template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant Communications format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Plant Communications?
Plant Communications is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Plant Communications template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant Communications PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant Communications template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant Communications template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant Communications template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant Communications PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
