Guangxi Zhiwu

Aims & Scope

The journal is committed to advancing botanical research. It mainly publishes high-quality, original research articles that present innovative findings across all major branches of plant sciences. Both fundamental and applied research are welcome, and submissions reporting new techniques, novel methodologies, and important discoveries in plant research are particularly encouraged. In addition to original research articles, the journal publishes critical review papers that provide insightful analyses and theoretical advances on key frontier topics in plant sciences. The journal only accepts original manuscripts that have not been previously published in any language. Translations of papers already published elsewhere are not considered. Requirements for manuscripts on New Plant Species:(1) The new species should include line drawings and English descriptions (as required by the international nomenclature regulations). (2) Authors are encouraged to include content on morphological anatomy, individual development, microscopic morphology comparisons, or molecular biology experiments. These innovative forms are essential for papers on new plant species; however, the research content must be original and novel. Plant Karyotype Articles:(1) Simple karyotype research articles are generally not accepted. (2) Research papers on karyotypes of a single genus can be accepted if they are well-developed or offer significant novelty. New Plant Species Records:(1) In principle, only national-level records or records of two or more species (unless of significant importance) are accepted. (2) New records of species occurring within large regional areas, such as new records in China, or between major geographic units (typically separated by mountain systems with unique topography and climate characteristics, such as the Loess Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Qinling Mountains, etc.) that show geographical isolation but appear in another location, hold significance in the field o
