The evolution of the plastid chromosome in land plants: gene content, gene order, gene function

Susann Wicke, Gerald M. Schneeweiss, Claude W. dePamphilis et al. · 21 Mar 2011

This review bridges functional and evolutionary aspects of plastid chromosome architecture in land plants and their putative ancestors. We provide an overview on the structure and composition of the plastid genome of land plants as well as the functions of its genes in an explicit phylogenetic and evolutionary context. We will discuss the architecture of…

Plant Molecular Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Plant Molecular Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Plant Molecular Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Plant Molecular Biology use?
Plant Molecular Biology uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Plant Molecular Biology 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Plant Molecular Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Plant Molecular 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 Plant Molecular Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Plant Molecular Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Plant Molecular Biology?
Plant Molecular Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Plant Molecular Biology template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Plant Molecular Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Plant Molecular Biology template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Plant Molecular Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Plant Molecular Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Plant Molecular Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
