Application of Bioinformatics in Plants

Dear Colleagues,

The discovery of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and its employment in genomics, transcriptomics and other omics disciplines paved the way for the production of a staggering amount of big biological data. The inference of meaningful results from ever-increasing biological data regarding structures and functions of genes, their evolutions over time, protein–protein or protein–ligand interactions and to shed light on metabolic processes and pathways all depend on the effective and accurate processing of big biological data. In this context, bioinformatics plays a major role in deciphering behaviors, interactions and networks of biological molecules and structures. Today, the employment of neural network methods under artificial intelligence and machine learning gives further impetus to understand living systems through more efficient and effective data mining and data processing of the accumulated biological big data.

With this Special Issue, I wish to invite the submission of high-quality original research manuscripts or review articles on any topic related to: “Application of Bioinformatics in Plants”.

In order to contribute to the understanding of the complex molecular worlds of plants, I request you to submit your research and join in our Special Issue.

You will find all the necessary information and instructions and a team up to the task at the Genes editorial office.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
