Decrypting the Mechanism of Protein Transcription in Plant Stress Resistance
This special issue belongs to the section “Plant-Crop Biology and Biochemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of studies on horticultural plants, including but not restricted to fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and tea. Articles addressing fundamental questions around responses to stress resistance are welcome. Studies using biochemical, molecular, genetic, genomic, and physiological approaches are within the scope of this issue. Studies using cutting-edge technologies such as genomics, genome editing, and molecular breeding are also welcome. We believe that this Special Issue will be helpful to research on horticultural plants and to the improvement of horticultural plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses in future.
