Plant-Environment Interactions, PEI, provides a unique platform for the publication of sound plant research from across the molecular, ecological and environmental science communities, including plants and people. Our aim is to support progress in the general plant and environmental sciences, and so the scope of the journal is necessarily broad and wide ranging. We always consider direct and referred submissions from authors requiring fast and efficient publication of their work. Topics span everything from plant cell and molecular biology, including development and physiology, through ecology and environmental change, to society and conservation.We welcome all plant research, emphasizing that every plant process ultimately enables it to grow in, and interact with, the environment. Plants can include crops or wild species, and be representative of life in the broadest sense relevant for the plant research community. The scale of investigation and meaning of ‘environment' are similarly broad. Scale can range from the molecular and cellular level, through to individual plants, genotypes and cultivars, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes. The environment can include wild, managed and cultivated situations – we make no restrictions.
