Journal of Food, Agriculture, and Environment (JFAE)
Print ISSN: 1459-0255 Online ISSN: 1459-0263
Chief Editor: Professor Shri Mohan jain
Publisher: WFL (Helsinki, Finland)
Research on Food and Agriculture is progressively moving toward an interdisciplinary
study of sustainable food production to meet the demand of growing human
populations. However, as more countries industrialize, there is an increase
in air and water pollution and soil contamination as well as elevated
levels of global warming and depletion of the ozone layer. This complex
scenario challenges researchers to develop and test more appropriate technologies
for sustainable agriculture. Research, for example, is being carried out
to overcome problems of environmental stress; minimize the use of pesticides;
slow post-harvest storage losses; and explore nutrition, animal science,
and human health, by using conventional and new technologies such as biotechnology,
mutation-assisted breeding, and molecular biology.
The Journal of Food, Agriculture, and Environment (JAFE) is dedicated
to meeting the need for a new journal that can encompass this wide range
of topics and interdisciplinary approaches. JAFE will publish (in print
and online versions) peer-reviewed original research, protocols, critical
reviews, and short communications in food science and technology and agriculture,
with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies in food, human nutrition,
agricultural, animal science, and environment.

The Arabidopsis Book (TAB)
The American Society of Plant Biologists is pleased to announce The
Arabidopsis Book (TAB), a dynamic, fully electronic compilation
of chapters edited by Chris Somerville and Elliot Meyerowitz and available
free of charge on the Internet.
TAB offers a new model for scientific publishing. Each of its 100+
chapters will review in detail an important aspect of the plant Arabidopsis
thaliana, and the content will continually evolve as new information becomes
available, making TAB the most comprehensive and current work
on Arabidopsis.
ASPB is providing funds for the mounting and maintenance of The Arabidopsis
Book on the Internet as a public service. Please visit TAB
at www.aspb.org/publications/arabidopsis
for chapters currently available in PDF. Eventually all chapters and updates
will be hosted in partnership with BioOne (www.bioone.org)
in both HTML and PDF formats.
HOW CAN AUTHORS
BE ASSURED THEIR DIGITAL ART IS ACCEPTED ON THE FIRST SUBMISSION?
Plant Physiology is proud to introduce the use of Rapid Inspector™
from Cadmus KnowledgeWorks.This easy-to-use preflighting tool is tailored
specifically to Plant Physiology graphic specifications, and assures
authors of usable, printable graphics on the first submission.
Plant Physiology
understands that authors want to get their vital scholarly content out
to the world as quickly as possible – so they can move on to the
next research assignment. Rapid Inspector™ quickly checks author-supplied
digital art quality – supporting almost any color or half-tone illustration,
and graphics in almost any common electronic art format.
Using Rapid Inspector™
from Cadmus KnowledgeWorks is FREE to authors of Plant Physiology
and a practical way to expedite the publication process.To create an account
and download Rapid Inspector™, please visit http://rapidinspector.cadmus.com/pp.
In just a few minutes, you'll be ready to take advantage of this exciting
author tool that simplifies the submission of digital art and eliminates
unnecessary delays!

The Plant Cell & Plant Physiology Archives Now Online!
The American Society of Plant Biologists has achieved another milestone
in its commitment to provide online access to the Society’s journal
archives free of charge to the worldwide scientific community.
All articles published in The Plant Cell, beginning with volume 1,
January 1989, are now available online at www.plantcell.org.
The Plant Physiology archive now dates to January 1993 at www.plantphysiol.org.
Watch for announcements about expansion of the Plant Physiology archive
back to the journal’s early volumes! All electronic articles have been
indexed in PubMed. Articles published prior to 1998 are in searchable PDF
format. |
