Review papers on current topics in Plant Biology are also included. The contents might be completed by additional chapters: 1. The Scientific Life presents scientific events in Plant Biology (symposia, conferences, etc.); 2. New books. The manuscripts should be submitted on a CD together with two paper printouts and also via e-mail (E-mail: plantbiology@ibiol.ro).

References in the text will be denoted by the names of authors (e.g., Smith, 2003), and alphabetically ordered in References. The references must be written according to the following examples: Smith L.G., 2003, Cytoskeletal control of plant cell shape: getting the fine points, Curr Opin Plant Biol 6, pp. 63–73. Collings D.A. and N.S. Allen, 2000, Cortical actin interacts with the plasma membrane and microtubules, In: C.J. Staiger et al., Editors, Actin: a Dynamic Framework for Multiple Plant Cell Functions, Kluwer Academic Publishers, pp. 145–163. All the authors of a reference must be listed. References “in press” are not accepted. Tables, numbered in Arabic numbers, and having a brief descriptive title, should be typed on separate sheets. Figures will be also drawn separately, on transparent tracing paper in black ink or colour ink or high contrast printed. Figures should be limited to a minimum.
