Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and the main source of food for roughly one-third of the world’s population. Breeding for improved agronomic performance, resistance to biotic and abiotic stress, high yield potential, and desirable quality in wheat is necessary to promote the sustainable development of the wheat industry and ensure food security and safety worldwide.
Genetic studies are the basis of wheat breeding. In recent years, high-quality annotation of wheat, as well as the development of other newly emerging technologies in biological sciences, i.e., next-generation sequencing, omics technologies, and genome editing techniques, has advanced fundamental genetic research in wheat. These new advances in molecular development will help to determine wheat genetic diversity, identify novel QTL/genes, reveal genotypic interactions with the environment, and develop new breeding techniques for wheat varieties.
This Special Issue, entitled “Genetics Studies on Wheat, Volume II”, is the second volume of the Special Issue “Genetics Studies on Wheat”, which has published 11 papers. It welcomes original research articles in addition to reviews and opinions about the genetic diversity and evolution, gene discovery, function and molecular mechanism, omics studies, molecular breeding, genome editing, and other new progress related to wheat genetics.

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. Genes 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.
