Plant Breeding is an international agronomy journal devoted to the advancement of plant breeding. Our papers span plant genetics, plant physiology, plant pathology, and plant development.
Our wide scope covers all aspects of crop plants and crop improvement of interest to both industry and academia. We provide readers with cutting-edge information on the use of molecular techniques and genomics that improve gains from selection.
The journal also now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process. For more information click here

The Transfer Network
The journal works closely with Plant-Environment Interactions, an Open Access journal, to enable rapid publication of good quality research that is unable to be accepted for publication by our journal. Authors will be offered the option of having the paper, along with any related peer reviews, automatically transferred for consideration. |
