Notes for Contributors

Instructions to authors for submission of manuscripts to PlantGenetic Resources: Characterization and Utilization

SubmissionManuscripts should be submitted by e-mail, in the form of attachmentssent to the journal administrator Faye Kalloniatis (mailto:plantgenetic-resources@googlemail.com). Manuscripts must be written in goodEnglish in double-spaced 12pt Times New Roman, using a currentversion of Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer. Figures and Tablesshould be included as separate attachments, and not pasted within thebody of the text. Material submitted for publication in the print copy ofthe journal can be supported by supplementary material (figures ortables) which will be published online only. Any supplementarymaterial must be submitted as separate attachment(s), each clearlymarked as “supplementary figures” or “supplementary tables”.

Peer review processAll manuscripts are peer reviewed by two referees, who may or may notchoose to remain anonymous. The journal makes every effort tocomplete the peer review process as quickly as possible, and generallythis is achieved within 6 weeks of receipt of the manuscript. Articleswhich the editor considers may be accepted subject to modificationmust be resubmitted to the journal within 1 month of their return datein order to be considered part of the original submission. If this deadlineis passed, a resubmission will be considered as a new manuscript. Ifauthors choose to resubmit, they must provide, in a covering letter, adetailed point-by-point response to all the criticisms raised by each ofthe reviewers, and where appropriate, those raised by the editor.

CopyrightThe journal needs your agreement to publish your article and you willbe sent a ‘Transfer to copyright’ form along with your first set of proofs.The form must be completed and returned to Cambridge UniversityPress.

Types of articleThe journal accepts two forms of research report – full articles and shortcommunications. The format of these is detailed separately below.Authors should note that the journal will not review submissions usingthe RAPD marker system, except where very large numbers of assaysplace a cost limitation on the analysis, or where RAPD data is combinedwith, and is co-analysed with other forms of descriptive data, whichallows an objective means of assessing the credibility of the RAPDs.

Full articlesThe title page should carry the title of the article and the authors’ namesand addresses. Also indicate the name and include the e-mail address ofthe corresponding author. The e-mail address is particularly important aspage proofs will be sent electronically as a .pdf file to the correspondingauthor for checking. (See ‘page proofs’ section below).

The text must be divided into sections, each beginning on a new page.The sections consist of Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods,Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figurelegends. In exceptional circumstances, the Results and Discussionsections can be combined, but where this has been done, the authorsmust provide a justification for doing so in their covering letter. TheAbstract should not normally consist of more than 200 words, and in nocase should exceed 300 words. It should indicate the scope and mainconclusions of the paper. Below the text, add a list of keywords forindexing purposes.

The Introduction should be no more than 750 words long. It shouldexplain why the work was done, and briefly introduce the scope andcontents of the paper.

The Materials and Methods section should detail experimental design andstatistical analysis and should be kept as brief as possible with the aid ofappropriate citation to the literature (e.g. for standard methods etc.).

Results should be recorded in the past tense.

The Discussion should interpret the results, and present them in thebroader context of other work on the subject. It should not simply be arestatement of the results.

Citations within the text should be listed in chronological order, byauthor and date, using ‘and’ between names of joint authors and, forthose with more than two authors, citing only the first author et al. (e.g.White et al., 1993). The final list of references should be in the followingformat, and listed by alphabetical order of author, e.g.

Gregory RS (1985) Triticale breeding. In: Lupton FGH (ed.) WheatBreeding: Its Scientific Basis. London: Chapman and Hall, pp. 20-30.

Kingston-Smith AH, Bollard AL, Humphreys MO and Theodorou MK(2002) An assessment of the ability of the stay-green phenotype inLolium species to provide an improved protein supply for ruminants.Annals of Botany 89: 731-740.

Smith JE (1988) The effects of roguing on the frequency of atypicalwinter wheat plants. PhD Thesis, University of Nottingham.

Tables should be numbered consecutively (Table 1, Table 2 ..., NOTTable 1a, 1b, etc). Each should be headed by a caption worded in a waywhich makes it self-explanatory. Tables intended for the print copy mustbe no larger than one A4 page in portrait typed in 12pt font. Theserestrictions do not apply to tables presented as online supplementarymaterial. The number of tables in the print copy is limited to four. Alltables (both print copy and online supplementary) should be preparedas text files (MS Word or similar), and not as spreadsheets (MS Excel orsimilar). Supplementary tables must be labelled consecutively Table S1,Table S2 etc.

Figures must be submitted as jpeg files (not powerpoint). The size ofthe file containing all the figures intended for the print copy should notexceed 2Mb. The number of figures is limited to four per article. Authorswill be asked to make a financial contribution towards the cost of printingcolour illustrations. Additional figures can be published as onlinesupplementary material, and these should be clearly labelled andreferred to in the text as Figure S1, Figure S2, etc. No cost recovery isexpected for online colour illustrations.

Note that the total number of tables plus figures appearing in the printcopy may not exceed six.

Please indicate the optimum placement of all tables and figures withinthe text.

Both the Figures and the Tables should be organized into a separate file.All supplementary material must also be presented within separatefile(s) (Supplementary Tables and/or Supplementary Figures).

Short communicationsThese will be limited to a maximum of 1000 words of text, plus twofigures or tables (or one of each). Section headings should normally berestricted to Abstract, Experimental, Discussion, Acknowledgements,References. This form of communication has been explicitly designed toreflect the format of poster presentations.

Page proofsOnce typeset, the corresponding author will receive page proofs by e-mail as a .pdf file. You will be asked to return the corrections via email(no later than 4 days after receipt). There is also a copyright transferform in the file; this needs to be signed and returned along with theoffprint order.

OffprintsWith the .pdf proof, the corresponding author will also be e-mailed anoffprint order form. If offprints of the paper are required, theappropriate form should be completed, using the price scale provided,and returned with the corrected proof to the proofreader. You will beprovided with a final .pdf file by e-mail at no expense. You will also besent a ‘Terms and Conditions’ form which outlines how you may useyour .pdf file.

Plant Genetic Resources: Characterization and Utilization

Volume 9 2011 ISSN: 1479-2621

Aims and Scope

The journal provides a forum for describing the application of novel genomic technologies, as well astheir integration with established techniques, towards the understanding of the genetic variation capturedin both in situ and ex situ collections of crop and non-crop plants; and for the airing of wider issuesrelevant to plant germplasm conservation and utilisation. We particularly welcome multi-disciplinaryapproaches that incorporate both a technical and a socio-economic focus.

Technical aspects can cover developments in technologies of potential or demonstrated relevance to theanalysis of variation and diversity at the phenotypic and genotypic levels; the development of rationalgermplasm collection, evaluation and conservation strategies; and the impact of crop genetic modificationand biotechnology on plant genetic resources. Authors should note that the journal will not reviewsubmissions using the RAPD marker system, except where very large numbers of assays place a costlimitation on the analysis, or where RAPD data is combined with, and is co-analysed with other forms ofdescriptive data, which allows an objective means of assessing the credibility of the RAPDs.

Non-technical aspects can include ethical, legal, commercial and social issues of relevance, in particularrelating to farmers’ rights, intellectual property and ethnobotany.
