Plant evolutionary-developmental biology (plant ‘evo-devo’) seeks to understand how and why plant morphological characters have evolved to produce the tremendous diversity of form in living plants. It draws from concepts and techniques of molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, genomics, evolutionary biology and ecology, and attempts to synthesize principles from these disciplines to yield an understanding of how developmental systems respond to selection pressures for novel characters.
In May 2016, the 37th New Phytologist Symposium brought together a group of researchers focused on this topic and to celebrate this we will be accepting submissions for a Special Issue on Plant developmental evolution. Submissions are welcome on all aspects of plant developmental evolution, and we welcome submissions of synthetic reviews as well as experimental studies.
Deadline for submission: 1 September 2016
All manuscripts will be subject to rigorous peer review. Articles submitted for consideration will be treated in exactly the same way as regular papers submitted to the journal are (i.e. they will go through the same peer review process as regular papers and acceptance is not guaranteed); special papers must therefore focus on timely research that provides new insights into the broad principles of plant science.
