Feature Papers: 'Plant Genetics and Genomics' Section

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection, “Feature Papers: ‘Plant Genetics and Genomics’ Section”, aims to collect high-quality research articles, review articles, and communications that cover key areas of plant genetics and genomics. Since the aim of this Topical Collection is to illustrate, through selected works, recent advances in the field of plant genetics and genomics, we encourage Editorial Board Members of the “Plant Genetics and Genomics” Section to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field, or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to make contributions to this Topical Collection. We aim to represent our Section as an attractive, open access publishing platform for plant genetics and genomics research.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Chromatin remodelling and dynamics;
• Epigenetics;
• DNA replication, repair, recombination and mobile DNA;
• Noncoding RNAs;
• RNA modifications and editing;
• Single-cell genomics;
• Regulation of gene expression;
• Plasmid and mitochondria genomic studies;
• Mechanisms governing genetic phenomena, such as dominance, heterosis and self-incompatibility;
• Plant genome editing;
