Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solanaceae are one of the largest family of vascular plants, with about 3000 species. Most Solanaceae plants have important application value for human beings, providing many kinds of food and medicinal materials, such as potato (Solanum tuberosum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), eggplant (Solanum melongena), wolfberry (Lycium chinense), and golden berry (Physalis pubescens). The chloroplast genomes, mitochondrial genomes, and even genomes of many Solanaceae species have been sequenced, providing a solid basis for the systematic classification, genetic diversity, molecular identification, functional genomics, comparative genomics, and genomics-assisted breeding of Solanaceae. This Special Issue of Genes will focus on Solanaceae comparative genomics, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic relationships. Studies aiming at the molecular identification of Solanaceae plants at the genome level are also welcome. We welcome research article and review submissions that contain the following scientific themes:
- Novel genome, chloroplast genome, mitochondrial genome, and related comparative genomic analyses of Solanaceae plants.
- Research on and reviews of the phylogenetic evolution of Solanaceae.
- Comparative analyses of conventional plant diversity and plant breeding using omics approaches in Solanaceae.
- Plant diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and comparative genomics using data analysis methods.
- Molecular identification and DNA barcoding screening of Solanaceae at the genome level.

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.

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.
