About the journal
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original scientific articles pertaining to the mode of action of plant protection agents such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents, biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones, and plant resistance agents. Manuscripts may include a biochemical, physiological, or molecular study for an understanding of comparative toxicology or selective toxicity of both target and nontarget organisms.

Instructions to Authors
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology will publish original research papers in English, dealing with the biochemistry and physiology of insecticides, herbicides fungicides, acaricides, nematocides, rodenticides and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents such as antifeeding compounds and chemosterilants as well as, for example, the biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones and plant resistance agents. Topics of interest include the effects of these agents on the biochemistry and physiology of both target and non-target organisms, and the biochemical transformations of the agents themselves. The mechanisms of resistance, and interactions such as synergism and antagonism, are also suitable topics.
The journal does not encourage papers devoid of biochemical or physiological content, e.g., reports of toxicity testing, or chemical synthesis, or analysis of residues (except when used as a tool for elucidation of metabolic pathways), or of the efficacy of pesticide treatments. Nevertheless, suitability is based on the purpose or rationale of the study, and not only upon the technique used.
In addition to full-length manuscripts containing original data, the Editor will consider occasional publication of concise reviews describing up-to-date and timely analysis of specific research areas of interest to readers of the journal. The recommended length of each "minireview" is four to seven published pages, including references, presented in a format identical to that used in regular contributions. They will be reviewed for their scientific merit in the same manner as full-length articles.
A section is also devoted to book reviews.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English and should be submitted in triplicate (one original and three photocopies), including three sets of good-quality figures, to

To expedite the reviewing process, we also request that all authors send an electronic copy of their manuscript, including PDF copies of all figures, via e-mail or floppy disk. Manuscripts may be e-mailed to pestbio@ucdavis.edu.
There are no submission fees or page charges. Each manuscript should be accompanied by a letter outlining the basic findings of the paper and their significance. In the case of rejected manuscripts, only one copy of the manuscript will be returned to the author.
Original papers only will be considered. Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out; further, that any person cited as a source of personal communications has approve such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editor(s) and the Publisher.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
Electronic Transmission of Accepted Manuscripts. Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via either computer disk or e-mail, after all revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes pestbio@ucdavis.edu. Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art must also be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8 1/2 x 11-inch or A4 white paper. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible, without subheadings.
Materials and methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the experiments to be reproduced.
Results and Discussion may be combined and may be organized into subheadings.
Acknowledgments should be brief and should precede the references.
References should be cited in the text by consecutive numbers in brackets. The references must be appear on a separate sheet listed in numerical order, that is, in accordance with order of citation in the text. Abbreviations of journal titles should conform to the style of Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index. References to papers that have been accepted for publication, but have not appeared, should be cited like other references with the abbreviated name of the journal followed by the words "in press." Copies of such papers should be sent whenever the findings described in them have a direct bearing on the paper being submitted for publication. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Note the following examples:

[3] L.A. Summers, The Bipyridinium Herbicides, Academic Press, New York, 1980, p. 449.
Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering on drawings should be professional quality or generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Color Figures. Illustrations in color can be accepted only if the authors defray the cost.
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below. Each table should have a brief title and where necessary, a short statement about the specific methods used. The intent is to avoid extensive legends, placing detailed protocols in the "Methods" section, but leaving no doubt as to the procedures used to obtain the data. Units must be clearly indicated for each of the entries in the table. Footnotes to tables should be appear beneath the tables themselves and should be designated by lowercase superscript letters, a, b, c, etc. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Terminology. Wherever a common name for a pesticide exists, it should be used. Most common names may be found in Guide to the Chemicals Used in Crop Protection by E.Y. Spencer, Agriculture Canada, 7th ed., 1982, and more recent entries are found in The Pesticide Manual-A World Compendium (C.R. Worthington, Ed.; S.B. Walker, Asst. Ed.) 8th ed., British Crop Protection Council, Binfield, Bracknell, Berks RG 125QE, England. In addition, common names of insecticides are listed from time to time by the Entomological Society of America; of herbicides, by the Weed Science Society of America; and of fungicides, by the American Phytopathological Society. The names of insects will be in accordance with the Entomological Society of America. For enzymes, the systematic name and number given by the Commission of the International Union of Biochemistry should be included for each enzyme of importance in the paper, at the point at which it is first mentioned.
Abbreviations. Standard abbreviations may be used without definition. When it is absolutely necessary to use additional abbreviations, all such abbreviations should be defined in a single footnote when the first such abbreviation is used.
Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and proofs should be returned promptly. Authors will be charged for alterations that exceed 10% of the total cost of composition.
