Genetics and Genomics of Edible Rosaceae

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper on Genetics and Genomics of Edible Rosaceae. Rosaceae includes numerous edible fruit and nut crops. In recent years, we have witnessed an explosive amount of data and resources produced from genomics research on Rosaceae. For example, whole genome sequences are available for most Rosaceae crops—providing an opportunity to explore collinearity and synteny within this family—multiple SNP arrays are available for major crops, and QTLs for many important traits are rapidly accumulating for major crops. This opens new avenues of research questions and methodologies that have not been previously possible. This Special Issue is to provide insights into the status of genetics and genomics research on these biologically and economically important crops.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are both welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Structural, functional and comparative genomics;
• Evolutionary and quantitative genetics;
• Molecular, cellular and developmental genetics;
• Germplasm diversity;
• Breeding and applied genetics;
• Bioinformatics and database resources.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
