The Journal of Plant Registrations is an official publication of CSSA and the premier international venue for plant breeders, geneticists, and genome biologists to publish research describing new and novel plant cultivars, germplasms, parental lines, genetic stocks, and genomic mapping populations. In addition to the main audience of agricultural scientists, registration articles can serve as supplementary resources for policy makers, humanitarian organizations, and biomedical and nutritional scientists. The scope of articles includes cultivar, germplasm, parental line, genetic stock, and mapping population registration articles; descriptions of plant genetic materials that have made a major impact on agricultural security (review & analysis); and short manuscripts characterizing accessions held in national and international plant germplasm collection systems (descriptions of plant genetic materials). Registration of plant genetic resources requires deposit of a seed voucher  in the USDA-ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation (NLGRP) prior to publication.
