As part of the collaboration between the Trustees and Publishers of the Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, an annual monetary prize was established for the paper with the most impact published in the previous year. For this prize, impact is interpreted in its widest sense to include paper views, downloads, citations and Altmetric scores.
We are very pleased to announce that the Journal Prize for 2019 (Vol 94) has been awarded to:
Haifeng Fu, Xiaojun Chang, Yuling Lin, Shuting Zhang, Zhongxiong Lai, Changsong Chen, Chen Zhu, Xiaozhen Li, and Yuqiong Guo (2019). De novo transcriptome combined with spectrophotometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) reveals differentially expressed genes during accumulation of secondary metabolites in purple-leaf tea (Camellia sinensis cv Hongyafoshou).
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 94:3, 349–367, DOI: 10.1080/14620316.2018.1521708
We congratulate the authors of the winning paper, which is a multidisciplinary collaboration between researchers at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, on gene expression and metabolite synthesis in purple-leaf tea.
The prize-winning paper is free to download. To link to this year’s winner: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14620316.2018.1521708
