Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect studies that involve an in-depth exploration of the fundamental theories of plant genetics and genomics, revealing the key role of genes in plant growth, development, and genetic variation. At the same time, the tolerance mechanism of plants in response to multiple stresses such as drought, salinity, pests, and diseases is analyzed from the perspectives of genetics and physiology. In addition, new ways to enhance plant stress resistance are explored. Overall, it will provide a communication platform for researchers to promote the application and innovation of plant science research in the fields of sustainable agricultural development.
