The New Phytologist Trust is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to the promotion of plant science.

The Trust owns New Phytologist, a leading international journal that offers rapid publication of high-quality original research on all aspects of plant science. Excess revenue from sales of the journal are used to facilitate research and scholarship in plant science, in particular, through the organization of symposia to open access for our Tansley reviews.
