Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cruciferous vegetables include several species cultivated worldwide and play an important role in our daily diet. Commonly known cruciferous vegetables include Chinese cabbage, pak-choi, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, kale, mustard, turnip, kohlrabi rutabaga, and so on, with extensive morphological and nutrient variation. Recent advances in genomic sequencing, molecular biological technologies, omics application, and gene editing have allowed the investigation of the genetic basis involved in various important traits such as leafy heading, leaf color, root/stem enlarging, florescence heading, metabolites biosynthesis, and so on.
In this Special Issue, we hope to focus on important agronomic traits, such as resistance, high quality, high yield, and good plant architecture in cruciferous vegetables. We cordially invite researchers to submit articles to this Special Issue with recent outstanding achievements in high-efficiency breeding technologies, germplasm innovation and evaluation, gene clone and functional analysis, molecular mechanism of important traits, and multi-omics analysis. Reviews will also be welcome with new insights and opinions.

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.
