Extract
For over two decades now, Plant Physiology has published a small number of shorter review articles each year. As their name implies, these Updates have dealt with recent developments within the plant sciences, generally addressing specific and timely questions of research endeavor. They were conceived initially as teaching tools but, in the more recent Focus Issue collections, have evolved additionally to encompass critical resources for researchers active within the field. Plant Physiology will continue to foster the Update series. In the coming months, we will be publishing a thought-provoking Update on the viral evolution of K+ channels and Focus Issues on Calcium Signaling and Encoding, on Water, and on Plant Roots. Plant Physiology also publishes the Founders Reviews, which my predecessor, Don Ort, introduced in 2010. The Founders Reviews highlight the work of preeminent scientists; they provide in-depth perspectives on their research, historical and contemporary context of the research, and the contributions of the research to the development of a fundamental understanding of plants. As with the Updates, Plant Physiology will continue these outstanding reviews, and I look forward to their appearance in the coming years.
