Celebrating 75th anniversary of MycopathologiaIt was founded in 1938 as an international journal devoted to the study of the role of fungi in human and animal disease. Many of the milestones discoveries in the field of medical mycology have been communicated through the pages of this journal. A special commemorative issue is planned at the end of 2013 to mark this occasion. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief or the Publishing Editor to share your stories or suggestions in this special year of festivities. This journal publishes original articles and case reports highlighting important developments in the fields of medical and veterinary mycology. Mycopathologia covers a diverse, interdisciplinary range of topics that is unique in breadth and depth. We also welcome papers on systematics and taxonomy of fungi involved in these fields. Timely opinion articles, mini-reviews and other communications are usually invited at the discretion of the editorial board.The Editor-in-Chief is Vishnu Chaturvedi, New York Sta

Natural Product Reports (NPR) is a critical review journal that stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research, including isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity and synthesis. Natural Product Reports covers natural products from marine, plant, fungal and microbial environments. The scope of the journal is very broad, and many reviews discuss the role of natural products in the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic and chemical biology communities. Areas covered include the following: Total synthesis and semi-synthesis; Enzymology and structural biology; Biosynthesis and biotechnology; Nucleic acids; Genetics; Chemical ecology; Carbohydrates; Primary and secondary metabolism; Analytical techniques

The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either "Part A - Synthesis and Structure" or "Part B - Bioactive Natural Products". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.All published research articles in Natural Product Research have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

New Journal of Botany aims to become the chief forum for communicating the results of botanical studies relating to the vascular plants and charophytes of northern and western Europe. The Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) wants this to be a first-rate, international, scientific journal, and the editorial board is committed to a rapid turnaround of submitted manuscripts. The journal includes not only peer-reviewed papers and short notes, but also reviews and opinion articles.

The scientific scope is broad and includes: phytogeography, floristics, distribution and recording, taxonomy, systematics and evolution, population and conservation biology, including ecological genetics, ecology (especially autecological, physiological and phenological studies), plant/animal interactions, including plant biochemistry where this relates to such. Submissions are also welcomed on the history of botany in the British Isles, especially its development in a European context, as well as topics of a more general botanical nature.

Aims and Scope New Phytologistoffers rapid publication of high quality. original research in plant science. Falling within four sections - Physiology and Development. Environment. Interaction and Evolution - articles cover topics that range from intracellular processes through to global environmental change. Cross-disciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged but for guidance the journal is organized as follows and recognizes that techniques from molecular and cell biology. and functional genomics through to modelling and system-based approaches will be applied across the whole spectrum of plant science: Physiology and Development:intra/inter-cellular signalling. long-distance signalling. physiology. development. eco-devo - phenotypic plasticity. transport. biochemistry.Environment:global change and environmental stress. ecophysiology.plant-soil interactions. heavy metals.Interaction:multitrophic systems. mycorrhizas and pathogens. fungal genomics. nitrogen-fixing symbioses.Evolution:molecular evolution. population genetics. mating systems. phylogenetics. speciation. plant-enemy coevolution. All papers must focus on timely research that provides new insights into the broad principles of plant science.
