A manuscript for a research paper should be assembled in the following order: Title, Author(s), Affiliation(s) (if the senior author is not the corresponding author, this is indicated) Keywords, Abbreviations, Abstract, Introduction, Results, Discussion (results and discussion may be combined), Materials and methods, Conclusion (if applicable), Acknowledgments, References. Tables and figures (JPEG/75 DPI or even higher) should be placed at the end of manuscript, after reference section (with their legends) and numbered consecutively (eg. for figures, Fig 1., Fig 2...... and for tables Table 1., Table 2. etc.). Please place tables and figures at the end of manuscript consecutively. Please make sure that the total size of your manuscript file is under 2 MB. If your manuscript size is bigger, try to submit it as supplementary data (link) during the online submission process.

Keywords
Please provide 5 to 10 key words in alphabetical order separated with semicolons, not included in the title. Scientific or systematic name of plants and fungi etc. should be written in italic. eg. Oryza sativa; in vitro; in vivo.

Abbreviations
Abbreviations and their explanations should be collected alphabetically arranged in a list. Examples: BA- 6-benzylaminopurine; NAA-naphthaleneacetic acid. Some commonly used abbreviations (e.g., DNA; PCR) do not have to be explained.

Abstract
Please provide a short abstract between 150- 350 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. Usually, the abstract summarizes the work reported and does not contain background information or speculative statements.

Introduction
This section should argue the case for your study, outlining only essential background, but should not include either the findings or the conclusions. It should not be a review of the subject area, but should finish with a clear statement of the question being addressed. Please provide a context for the report with respect to previous work done in the field. The literature should be cited. Please do not insert page number in your manuscript with MS Word insert page facility.

Results
This should highlight the results and the significance of the results and place them in the context of other work. The final paragraph ought to provide a resume of the main conclusions.

Discussion
A comprehensive discussion is required to justify the results. Normally a comparison between your results and results from previous works should be given in the Discussion.

Materials and methods
Please provide sufficient methodological details to allow a competent person to repeat the work.

Tables, Graphs and Figures
Tables, Graphs and Figures should be cited in the appropriate location of text with the legends and numbered consecutively.
For Figures and Graphs or illustrations just use Fig 1., Fig2. ............etc. For Tables Just use Table 1., Table2. ............etc.
