Description
The effects of stress on crop production of agricultural cultivated plants will grow to paramount importance in the 21st century, and the Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science aims to assist in understanding these challenges. In this context, stress refers to extreme conditions under which crops and forages grow. The journal publishes original papers and reviews on the general and special science of abiotic plant stress. Specific topics include: drought, including water-use efficiency, such as salinity, alkaline and acidic stress, extreme temperatures since heat, cold and chilling stress limit the cultivation of crops, flooding and oxidative stress, and means of restricting them. Special attention is on research which have the topic of narrowing the yield gap. The Journal will give preference to field research and studies on plant stress highlighting these subsections. Particular regard is given to application-oriented basic research and applied research. The application of the scientific principles of agricultural crop experimentation is an essential prerequisite for the publication. Studies based on field experiments must show that they have been repeated (at least three times) on the same organism or have been conducted on several different varieties. We ask that research results should be based on a number of experiments. A single experiment, even if it has been repeated (which in itself is a matter of course) will not be enough to be examined in JAC. In the case of a field trial, the experiments should be carried out either over several years or at different locations and with a spectrum of selected varieties. Experiments carried out in greenhouses and growth chambers should represent, as far as possible, a series that builds on itself based on the question raised in the hypothesis. The treatment of plants with a single substance etc. in order to counteract the stress alone should not be a central issue here. Rather, JAC attaches great importance to finding causal links that are important for further gaining knowledge.
