nature-plants

separate

Use when targeting Nature Plants or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad-significance and Nature-framing bar, evidence and reproducibility expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• fit/framing check for a plant-science paper
• re-framing specialist results into broad-significance narrative
• choosing between Nature Plants and sibling journals
• desk-reject heuristics and alternative routes
• molecular and cellular plant biology with broad significance
• plant development, physiology, and stress responses
• plant genetics, genomics, and evolution
• crop science and agricultural plant biology

When not to use

• technically sound but incremental specialist result with no broad significance
• mechanism asserted from a single correlative experiment
• single-condition, single-genotype, or unreplicated phenotyping
• descriptive catalogues with no functional validation
• framing pitched only to one subfield
