Crop Breeding for Stress Tolerance

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to inform you that a Special Issue focused on “Crop Breeding for Stress Tolerance” will be published in Agronomy. This Special Issue aims to highlight a range of reviews, opinions, and research articles on:

• Breeding for crop disease resistance;
• Breeding for crop abiotic stress tolerance (drought, waterlogging, acid soil, salinity, sodicity, frost, heavy metal toxicity, lodging, etc.);
• Fast-tracking development of improved wheat varieties with stress tolerance;
• Molecular and physiological mechanisms for crop biotic and abiotic stress tolerances;
• Development of phenotyping methodology.

Considering your expertise in the field, we would like to invite you to submit related papers to us. As an open access journal, we not only publish papers but also make them available worldwide to increase their downloads and citations.

Prof. Dr. Meixue Zhou
Guest Editor
