Dear Ms.XXXX
After a careful review of your manuscript, I am afraid that we are not able to accept it for publication in BBRC. As you know, this is a rapid communication journal and not all submissions, regardless of their merit, are suitable for this format. Our standards are increasingly high, and in fact, approximately 80% of submissions do not meet our criteria. In this case, we have found that your manuscript falls outside of the scope of research published in BBRC as it is a descriptive paper that would go better in a plant science or agricultural journal. We recommend that a full paper be submitted to another journal.
I am sorry to convey this negative decision; I know it is a disappointment. However, I thank you for the opportunity to see your work, and I hope you will consider submitting future manuscripts to BBRC.
With kind regards,
Editor
