To exchange the knowledge in current discussion about plant function in relation to their organs anatomy, we plan to publish an issue in December 2021 entitled “Morpho-anatomy of usable plants – function and adaptation”.

Our mission is to present for broader audience the variability of structure of useful plants in relation to coadaptations on evolutionary, molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels.

The manuscript due date is March 31, 2021. Original research papers, reviews, as well as short communications are eagerly invited.

Journal policies (including guidelines for manuscript preparation, fees) are available at: https://pbsociety.org.pl/journals/index.php/aa/about

Manuscripts submission starting point: https://pbsociety.org.pl/journals/index.php/aa/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions

Please submit a manuscript to a dedicated section “Morpho-anatomy of usable plants – function and adaptation”.

The Guest Editors of the issue are:

• Anastasiya Odintsova, University of  Lviv, Ukraine
• Barbara Łotocka, Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Poland

Modern plant taxonomy is an extensive field that is increasingly benefiting from the achievements of many other fields of biological sciences, such as genetics, cytology, molecular biology, ecology, phytogeography, and paleobotany. The influence of these branches of science on plant taxonomy is expressed not only through a significant multiplication of information and detailed data, but also by new phylogenetic concepts. Reconstructing phylogenetic compounds that unite all lines is a great challenge. The process of describing a new species is considered equivalent to generating a new hypothesis in phylogenesis. Hence taxonomy and phylogenetics are inseparably connected with each other. Advances in taxonomy and phylogenetic taxonomy have inspired us to designate a special issue of Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae for them. Therefore, we cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on alpha taxonomy, evolutionary and numerical taxonomy, and phylogenetics including the following areas:

• vascular plants,
• bryophytes,
• plant component in lichen.

The issue timetable:

• submission deadline: March May 31, 2020;
• reviews till: May 31 July 17, 2020;
• postreview revisions till: July 31 August 14, 2020;
• editing ends: September 15, 2020;
• publication: September 30, 2020.
