New Journal: GM Crops

GM Crops, a new journal, will be launched in January 2010. It will be "the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind to focus exclusively on genetically modified crops." "It is a challenging time for those working in the field of genetically modified crops. With GM Crops, we aim to provide a new forum for meaningful communication between scientists and policy-makers," the editorial board said in a press release. GM Crops will publish relevant and high-impact original research with a special focus on novelty-driven studies with the potential for application.

The journal now accepts manuscripts. More information is available at http://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/gmcrops http://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/gmcrops/
