Advances in Plant Genetic Breeding and Molecular Biology

Dear Colleagues,

According to advances in plant molecular biology, studies on plant breeding using molecular biological technology have been activated in the field of major crops, as well as horticultural crops. Meanwhile, the application of advanced technologies was restrictively used in the fields of special crops and industry crops compared with major crops. The importance of special crops and industry crops is relatively low compared with major crops in the world. However, the development of industry crops provides high economic benefits. The aim of this Special Issue is to find and collect advanced or new plant breeding technologies around molecular biology in the field of special and industry crops. In addition, this Special Issue intends to report recent advances in plant genetic breeding including new molecular breeding technologies, and newly developed genetic resources combined with biotechnologies and advanced omics research, such as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, phenomics, metabolomics, etc.

This Special Issue welcomes the submission of review and research papers or short communications on topics related to plant genetic breeding, molecular biology and their related fusion technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
