Botany Journals

Published by the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), this open-access journal covers diverse aspects of botany including plant cell biology, plant molecular biology, plant-microbe interactions, plant ecology, taxonomy, evolution, and plant biotechnology. Emphasis on tropical and subtropical plant species, with a strong tradition in fundamental molecular and cellular plant biology, and plant pathogen resistance mechanisms.

An open-access journal covering the relationship between humans and plants, animals, fungi, and their environments across cultural and historical contexts. Publishes ethnobotanical surveys, traditional plant use documentation, ethnopharmacological validation of medicinal plants, biocultural diversity studies, food ethnobotany, and indigenous knowledge documentation. Integrates anthropological, ecological, and pharmacological approaches to understanding human-biota relationships worldwide.

The official journal of the South African Association of Botanists, publishing research on all aspects of botany with emphasis on southern Africa. Covers plant ecology, systematics and taxonomy, plant physiology, phytochemistry of medicinal plants, ethnobotany of African flora, plant conservation, and applied plant science. Strong emphasis on fynbos and Cape flora, savanna and arid-zone plant communities, and African traditional medicinal plants.

Published on behalf of the Botanical Society of Japan, covering all areas of plant research from molecular biology to ecology. Publishes research on plant development, physiology, systematics, evolution, plant-environment interactions, anatomy, and functional genomics. Well known for integrating classical plant morphology and anatomy with modern molecular approaches, and for comprehensive coverage of plant diversity in East Asia.

Published by the Society for Economic Botany, this journal covers all aspects of the relationship between plants and human societies, including the utilization, conservation, and management of plants for food, medicine, fiber, and other economic purposes. Emphasizes ethnobotany, plant domestication history, agroforestry, wild plant harvesting, bioprospecting, and the economic and social dimensions of plant resource use across cultures and ecosystems.
