Instructions to Authors
In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology ?Plant is a bimonthly journal of the Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) and the International Association for Plant Tissue Culture & Biotechnology (IAPTC&B). Four regular SIVB issues (numbers 1, 3, 4 and 6; published January/February, May/June, July/August, November/December) include original manuscripts describing results of cellular, molecular and developmental biology research using in vitro grown or maintained organs, tissues or cells derived from plants. Studies that relate findings in vitro to plant biotechnology and genetics are especially welcomed to be considered for publication.
The complete scope of the journal is embodied in the following matrix:
1. Biotechnology / Genetic Transformation / Functional Genomics桾ransformation methods; transgene expression/regulation; plant expression vectors; promoter/enhancer/scaffold attachment/transgene product structure-function; field evaluation.
2. Cell Biology桟ell cycle; cytodifferentiation; cell-cell interactions/signaling; protein targeting; organelles; structure-function.
3. Developmental Biology / Morphogenesis桬mbryogenesis; embryogeny; gametogenesis; organogenesis; floral differentiation/development.
4. Metabolic Engineering / Secondary Metabolism桞iotransformation; metabolic flux; bioactive/medicinal compounds.
5. Micropropagation桝cclimatization; automation; bioreactors; cloning; contamination control; disease indexing; scale-up.
6. Molecular Farming桾ransgenic production of recombinant proteins and pharmaceuticals such as antibodies, edible vaccines, industrial enzymes, etc.
7. Physiology桺lant growth regulators; primary metabolism; regulatory processes; signal transduction.
8. Somatic Cell Genetics桽omaclonal variation; epigenetics; mutagenesis; somatic hybridization; T-DNA/transposon tagging; homologous recombination.
Two special issues (numbers 2 and 5, published March/April and September/October) are published as the official journal of the IAPTC&B, and include original manuscripts, feature and review articles, commentary, and IAPTC&B official notifications. The IAPTC&B maintains a completely separate and independent international editorial review board for these two issues. Original manuscripts dealing with plant tissue culture and molecular and cellular aspects of plant biotechnology are the focus of these two issues and are not divided into matrix categories.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT

Authors must submit final revised version of manuscript on computer disk together with three hard copies.
Manuscripts not submitted on disk will result in an additional charge of $50 to the author. These should be sent to Dr. Phillips' office in Las Cruces, NM. 3? disks are preferred either single- or double-sided, low or high density. Microsoft Word 97 for Windows is the preferred program, but we can accept WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS and WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows. (If a version higher than listed here is used, supply an ASCII (DOS) text file.) IBM compatible/PC disk is preferred. Indicate on the disk label the manuscript number, the name of the first author, the software (including version), and the system used.
Submission of a manuscript implies that all authors have agreed to its submission and that the manuscript is neither under consideration for publication elsewhere nor has appeared previously in part or in whole. Manuscripts will be reviewed by two or three experts in the relevant field. Authors may suggest desired reviewers in their field. Reviewer and editorial opinions will be anonymously communicated to authors. Revised manuscripts will retain the original date of receipt if the revised version is received by the Editorial Office within 3 months.
ARRANGEMENT
Each section should start on a new page. The first page should carry: Title, Author's name, Institution, condensed title for running head (not to exceed 35 letters and spaces), and full address of the author who will receive proofs and reprint orders. The second page should contain a summary, not to exceed 250 words. The summary serves as an abstract for abstracting journals, and must be followed by the listing of four to six key words for indexing purposes. These words should not be contained in the title.
The manuscript should be assembled in the following order: title page (including full title, title footnote, byline, and running title), footnotes, SUMMARY, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS AND METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, REFERENCES, TABLES, FIGURE LEGENDS, and FIGURES. Combination of RESULTS and DISCUSSION is acceptable. All pages should be numbered consecutively starting with the title page. Footnotes should be used only in tables as superscript lower case letters, and placed at the bottom of the page containing the table. All acknowledgments should be on a separate sheet preceding the references. Use of abbreviations should be minimized. Where necessary, spell out the abbreviated term followed by the abbreviation in parentheses where it is first cited both in the text and in the legends. Abbreviations should not be used in title or summary.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Complete identification of suppliers, along with their city, state, and country, should be given for unique or unusual materials used in experiments. Methods should be clear and concise, but provide sufficient detail to allow others in the scientific community to interpret or verify the results.
REFERENCES
References must conform to the Name-Year system as described by the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 6th Edition. In this system the references at the end of a document are arranged alphabetically by the name of the first author. Within the text the reference should be cited with the name and date: for example, "Organ cultures were initiated as previously described (Smith et al., 1989)" or "Organ cultures were described by Smith et al. (1989)". Follow Index Medicus journal title abbreviations; provide inclusive pages of work cited; provide title in the original language (when reproducible in the English alphabet) and state if it is translated. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy of all references. Authors should confirm all references on the final manuscript with original publications. Cite as references only papers that have been accepted for publication. Cite "manuscripts in preparation," "unpublished results," "personal communications," etc., in the text. Authors should verify personal communications with the supplier of the information. The style of reference for books, journals, and chapters within books is as below:
George, E. F.; Sherrington, P. D. Plant Propagation by tissue culture: hand book and directory of commercial laboratories. London: Exegetics Ltd.; 1984:102?10.
Murashige, T.; Skoog, F. A revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures. Physiol. Plant. 15:473?79; 1962.
Thorpe, T. A. Organogenesis in vitro. In: Vasil, I. K., ed. Perspectives in plant cell and tissue culture. Int. Rev. Cytol., Suppl. 11A. New York: Academic Press; 1980:71?05.
ILLUSTRATIONS AND FIGURES
All photographs and line figures should be on standard size white paper, numbered in agreement with the text, identified on the reverse side with the title of the manuscript and the author's name and placed after the last page of text with each page numbered.
Photographs should be printed on glossy paper. Photographs and figures will be reduced to one column width (3-3/8", 8.6 cm) unless the authors justify the use of additional space. Authors who wish to have any figures printed at greater than one-column width should obtain the approval of the managing editor. The magnification of photomicrographs should be stated.
It is recommended to supply line figures on disk with the text. Preferred programs are Word and Excel for Windows, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. If using any program other than Word or Excel for Windows, the figure should be supplied as a TIFF image. There is no charge if figures are not supplied on disk, but it will assist the production process and ensure a better quality of reproduction. It is not recommended to supply photographs on disk because of quality problems. Even if the figures are supplied on disk, is essential that a good quality hard copy print of every figure is supplied.
Figure Legends should be collected at the end of the manuscript. Avoid lengthy legends with detailed experimental protocols. State experimental conditions pertaining to the illustrations but avoid repetition of the text. Explain all symbols and abbreviations used in the illustrations. Simple symbols such as o, D, and n should be used. The use of error bars on the data points is recommended. On the back of each figure, indicate in soft pencil the number of the figure, the top of the drawing, and the author抯 name. Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and their approximate positions should be indicated in the margins of the text.
TABLES
If possible, please use bulleted or numbered lists within the text instead of tables. If tables are required, they should carry short titles, and should be intelligible without reference to the text. The tables should be included on the text disk.
ILLUSTRATION AND PAGE CHARGES*
There are no page charges up to 9 typeset pages. Authors will incur a $100 charge for each page exceeding 9 pages.
Each article is permitted the equivalent of one full page of tables, photographs, and figures at no cost. After the first page, illustration charges will be billed at the rate of $55.00 ($45.00 for SIVB members) per full page.
The cost of all color illustrations must be borne by the author and are payable in advance. The cost of color printing is currently $1,300 for the first page and $800 for each additional page. A proforma invoice will be sent to the corresponding author.
It is anticipated that any applicable page and illustration charges will be paid by authors whose research was supported by special funds, grants (departmental, governmental, institutional, etc.) or contracts or whose research was done as part of their official duties. A proforma invoice for applicable page and illustration charges will be sent with page proofs and a reprint order form. The Society must have either a check, authorization to charge a credit card, or a copy of the purchase order for the full amount due prior to a paper being published.
If research was not supported by any of the means described above, a request to waive the charges may be sent to Gregory Phillips, editor, with the disk of the manuscript text at the time of paper acceptance. This request, which must be separate from the covering letter, must indicate how the work was supported and should be accompanied by a copy of the Acknowledgment section.
*These charges are for the 2000 volumes and may change for publication after 2000.
Alteration Charges
For the four regular SIVB issues (nos 1, 3, 4, 6), it is necessary to charge for changes made to a paper once it is at page proof stage. A $50.00 per page charge for each page on which there is a correction will be imposed and must be included on the proforma invoice by the author when returning the page proof. This is a "pass through" charge from the compositor to the author. A check, authorization to charge a credit card, or copy of a purchase order should accompany author抯 pages and proforma invoice when returned for publication. There is no charge for typographical errors ?however any change from the original manuscript is deemed an author抯 alteration. We are not charging author alterations to the IAPTC&B authors.
NOMENCLATURE
The recommendations of the Society for In Vitro Biology Committee on Terminology should be followed. Schaeffer, W. I. Terminology Associated with Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, Molecular Biology and Molecular Genetics. In Vitro Cell. Dev. Biol. 26:97?01; 1990.
COPYRIGHT
To maintain and protect the Society抯 ownership and rights and to protect the original authors from misappropriations of their work, SIVB requires the corresponding author to sign a copyright transfer agreement on behalf of all the authors. Unless this agreement is executed (without changes and/or addenda), SIVB will not publish the manuscript.
If all authors were employed by the U.S. government when the work was performed, the corresponding author should not sign the copyright transfer agreement but should, instead, attach to the agreement a statement attesting that the manuscript was prepared as a part of their official duties and, as such, is a work of the U.S. government not subject to copyright.
If some of the authors were employed by the U.S. government when the work was performed but the others were not, the corresponding author should sign the copyright transfer agreement as it applies to that portion performed by the non-government employee authors.
