can any one suggest me some none-paid journals for Microbiology and Plant sciences. No worries if journal don't have impact factor or low impact factor but it should be ISI and valid.
Most of the plant science journals on the ISI list do NOT charge for publications. It's easier to list the ones that DO charge. There is NO reason to go to non-ISI listed ones, with such a wide range of good journals in which you can publish for free. So, pick the one you would prefer, and then check on the journal's website. It's that easy.
In fact, it is the non-ISI-listed predatory journals that charge a lot. I would not bother ever wasting my money on those.
I am not certain whether ISI list journals without any impact factor? In the past months we published five papers in Environmental Microbiology (impact factor 6+) and did not pay any charges. I copied some information from their online author guidelines below.

John
Charges
Page charges
No page charges will be levied on papers published in the normal way.
Colour displays
Authors pay the full cost of reproduction of their colour artwork. Exceptionally, if the authors cannot meet these charges, and the editors feel that colour figures are essential for a manuscript, then it may be possible to waive part or all of these charges.

Most journals dont charge any money until you choose open access option. the benefit for open access journals is that your publication would get higher citations as compared to non-open access.

It is often claimed that open-access journals attract more citations, Saeed Ahmad Asad, but it really depends on which open-access journal. These days, with RG, you can hold of any paper your are interested in. A simple email to the authors is an alternative way to get papers. I am not keen to spend my money on open access journals. Whenever I have do that, I don't see more citations to those papers than to papers in other journals.
It's a great way for publishers to make money, but is it worth it?
We have recently launched the Journal of Plant Hydraulics (www.inra.fr/jph).
It is 100% free, non for-profit, and entirely managed by researchers themselves. We want to demonstrate that alternatives to Elsevier or Springer still exist...
Just make sure it's a real journal and not one of the rapidly-multiplying predatory publishers. Check to see that it's indexed in NCBI (or whatever database you use) if you're not sure. Some of them boast fake ISI numbers.
For the none paid journal on your field area including complementary medicine, pharmacy and drug discovery you may try on ''Spatula DD - Peer Reviewed Journal on Complementary Medicine and Drug Discovery'' http://www.scopemed.org/?sec=about&jid=11&lng=
PLOS and American Society of Microbiology journals all have (hefty) page/publications cost-though PLOS will waive charges in some cases-especially in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases from developing nations.
Journal of/Letters in Applied Microbiology and Microbiology (SGM UK) do not charge and are reputable journals

Despite following RG questions on Open Access for a long time, I am still confused when people quote journals and say they were not charged. If these are OA journals, they need to explain their business models, ie who pays for their editorial setup, and who guarantees long term archiving.
