Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioinformatics is playing an increasingly important role in modern agriculture by providing advanced tools for the analysis of complex biological and environmental data.
This Special Issue focuses on the applications of bioinformatics in agricultural research, with particular emphasis on soil science, environmental microbiology, and plant–soil interactions. The articles featured in this Special Issue include metagenomic analyses of soil microbiomes, studies of microbial genomes relevant to soil fertility, identification of functional microbial groups, and the integration of omics data in the context of soil health and productivity. Special attention is given to the use of bioinformatics tools in uncovering novel ecological relationships and supporting knowledge-based agricultural practices. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the potential of bioinformatics as a key tool for sustainable soil resource management and the advancement of agricultural sciences.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Anna Marzec-Grządziel
Guest Editor
