Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “15th Anniversary of Genes: Feature Papers in the “Plant Genetics and Genomics” Section”, will gather high-quality research articles, reviews, and communications on advances in research in plant genetics and genomics, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Genes and the 10th anniversary of the journal receiving its first impact factor. As our aim for this Special Issue is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in the field of plant genetics and genomics, we encourage Editorial Board Members for the “Plant Genetics and Genomics” Section to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field or to invite relevant senior experts and colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue. We aim to showcase our Section as an attractive open access publishing platform for plant genetics research.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanisms of plant gene regulation;
- Phylogenomics and evolutionary plant genetics;
- Gene silencing and miRNAs;
- QTL mapping and cloning;
- Chromatin organization;
- Epigenetics and epigenomics;
- Plastid genomic studies;
- Genetic engineering for crop production;
- Pangenomes.
