# Nature Plants (nature-plants)

## Journal positioning

Nature Plants is the Nature Portfolio journal devoted to plant science in its full
breadth — from molecular and cell biology through development, physiology, genetics,
and evolution to ecology and crop science — including the plant-associated microbes and
the agricultural and societal contexts in which plants matter. Its defining expectation
is a **significant advance with broad significance**: a finding that changes how a wide
plant-science readership thinks about a problem, not a clean but incremental result that
extends one specialist literature. A technically sound, narrowly framed specialist paper
with no broad significance is a poor fit, however careful the work. This skill is a **fit
/ venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author
guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Nature Plants submission guidance.
