Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between genotype and phenotype is essential in precision breeding. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how the genome regulates plant development, growth, and environmental adaptation, with a particular focus on the epigenetic mechanisms that shape agronomic traits.
Advancements in high-throughput sequencing technology have revolutionized plant research, making genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics central areas of study. Epigenomics has also emerged as a key field, elucidating the changes in gene activity and expression that are regulated by epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification. These insights are vital to our understanding of complex plant traits.
The integration of multi-omics data provides a comprehensive foundation for studying plant genome structure and function, gene localization, and genetic improvement. Bioinformatics and its associated databases play a crucial role in maximizing the potential of genomic resources.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge applications in plant research, leveraging advanced technologies, such as molecular biology, gene editing, and multi-omics. We welcome all types of submissions within this dynamic field.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
