Rapid reports and short communications should follow the style of regular papers with headings omitted. Consult recent issues of Plant and Cell Physiology for further details of the format. Tables should be prepared in a form consistent with recent issues of Plant and Cell Physiology and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Explanatory material should be given in the table legends and footnotes. Each table should be prepared on a separate page.
Figures drawn with India ink on white paper are preferable.
Glossy photographic prints of figures are also acceptable. Each figure should be drawn or printed on a separate sheet, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Micrographs should be submitted the same size as or the slightly larger size than they are to appear. Figure should not exceed in size one-half of this. Where several micrographs are grouped together they should be mounted accurately on a mounting paper.
