Plant Methods is an open access| peer-reviewed| online journal for the plant research community that encompasses all aspects of technological innovation in the plant sciences. There is no doubt that we have entered an exciting new era in plant biology. The completion of the Arabidopsis genome sequence| and the rapid progress being made in other plant genomics projects are providing unparalleled opportunities for progress in all areas of plant science. Nevertheless| enormous challenges lie ahead if we are to understand the function of every gene in the genome| and how the individual parts work together to make the whole organism. Achieving these goals will require an unprecedented collaborative effort| combining high-throughput| system-wide technologies with more focused approaches that integrate traditional disciplines such as cell biology| biochemistry and molecular genetics. Technological innovation is probably the most important catalyst for progress in any scientific discipline. Plant Methods’ goal is to stimulate the development and adoption of new and improved techniques and research tools and| where appropriate| to promote consistency of methodologies for better integration of data from different laboratories.
