Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current context of continuous climatic change, abiotic stresses—especially drought, salinity, ion, and temperature stress pose significant threats to both agricultural crop production and plant biodiversity. The need for “Identification and Innovation of Plant Genes” is therefore clear.
This Special Issue invites contributions focused on the evaluation of crop genetic diversity associated with abiotic-stress mechanisms and innovations in plant germplasm, with a focus on utilizing the available diversity to improve existing germplasm resources by means of new molecular methods and conventional methods. Topics include—but are not limited to—the following:
- Gene identification;
- Plant breeding;
- Abiotic stress;
- Germplasm;
- Innovation;
- Improvement;
- Diversity.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
