《植物科學中的應用》(APPS)是一本月刊，經過同行評審，開放獲取，旨在促進在植物科學的所有領域(包括遺傳學、結構、功能、發育、進化、系統學和生態學)快速傳播新開發的創新工具和協議。鑒于當今技術及其在植物科學中的應用進展迅速，APPS的目標是促進植物科學界之間的交流，促進科學研究。APPS是美國植物學會(Botanical Society of America)的出版物，2009年創刊于《美國植物學雜志》(American Journal of Botany)網絡版《植物科學中的AJB入門筆記與協議》(Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences)。

Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany's online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.
