Special Issue Information
Dear COlleagues,
Soybean is one of the world’s most valuable crops. Unfortunately, soybean suffers yield suppression from various biotic stresses. For example, it is estimated that in the United States alone, an average annual yield loss of around 11% of the yield, valued at $4.55 billion, occurred from pathogenic diseases caused by microbes and nematodes from 1996 to 2016. Therefore, genetic improvement of disease resistance is one of the most important soybean breeding objectives. In the past decades, breeding soybean for disease resistance has been very successful. Unfortunately, new pathogenic races that overcome existing disease resistance in soybean cultivars are evolved rapidly. As a result, soybean breeders are constantly seeking new disease resistance genes. Therefore, identification of novel single disease resistance genes and quantitative trait loci is becoming a persistent need for breeding disease resistant soybean cultivars. This Special Issue will therefore be dedicated to publishing at least 10 papers related to the genetic basis of soybean disease resistance in soybean. Review articles on soybean disease resistance genes will also be considered for publication. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your manuscripts for publication in this Special Issue.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 monthly 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.
