Please post this announcement.

Dear Plant Genomics Colleague:

The Plant Genome is an international open-access electronic journal published by the Crop Science Society of America. The goal of The Plant Genome is to provide the readership with a short submission-to-online publication of the latest advances and breakthroughs in plant genomics research.

The Plant Genome publishes original research investigating all aspects of plant genomics. Technical breakthroughs reporting improvements in the efficiency and speed of acquiring and interpreting plant genomics data are welcome. The editorial board will give preference to novel reports that use innovative genomic applications that advance our understanding of plant biology and that may have applications to crop improvement. The journal also publishes invited review articles and perspectives that offer insight and commentary on recent advances in genomics and their potential for agronomic improvement.

The first edition of the journal will be published on 23 July 2008.

For more information on The Plant Genome, including instructions to authors and the editorial board, please go to The Plant Genome<https://www.crops.org/genome/>.

Papers may be submitted through The Plant Genome's online submission website at:

http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/plantgenome.

We look forward to receiving your manuscripts for publication in The Plant Genome.

Sincerely,

David A. Somers
Editor

Please post the following job ad: thanks!

A full time postdoctoral associate position is available immediately
in the laboratory of Patricia Springer, Department of Botany and
Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside. The successful
candidate will examine the role of individual members of the
LOB-Domain (LBD) family of transcription factors in Arabidopsis
development. This family of transcription factors has been
implicated in a number of different developmental processes in
plants, including the control of organ boundaries, adaxial-abaxial
organ polarity, lateral root initiation, gametophyte development, and
inflorescence branching. We seek to understand the functions of
additional genes in this family. For more information about the
available projects, contact Patricia Springer (pspringer@ucr.edu).

Hi, colleagues,

I want to know how to get the primary and secondary cell wall tissue from at plants less than one month old? Should I grow At plants to flowering before harvesting the secondary cell wall tissue such as stem?

Thanks for your reply.
