《植物生理學》是一份國際期刊，致力于出版最好的全長原創研究論文，促進我們對植物發育、生長和生產力的主要機制以及植物與生物和非生物環境的相互作用的理解。所有組織水平的實驗植物生物學-從分子和細胞生物學，生物化學和生物物理學到生態生理學和全球變化生物學-屬于該雜志的范圍。內容分布在5個主要學科領域，由各自領域的學科編輯監督:(1)生物化學和代謝，(2)生態生理學，壓力和適應，(3)攝取，運輸和同化，(4)發育，生長和分化，(5)光生物學和光合作用。

Physiologia Plantarum is an international journal committed to publishing the best full-length original research papers that advance our understanding of primary mechanisms of plant development, growth and productivity as well as plant interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment. All organisational levels of experimental plant biology – from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics to ecophysiology and global change biology – fall within the scope of the journal. The content is distributed between 5 main subject areas supervised by Subject Editors specialised in the respective domain: (1) biochemistry and metabolism, (2) ecophysiology, stress and adaptation, (3) uptake, transport and assimilation, (4) development, growth and differentiation, (5) photobiology and photosynthesis.
