Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolomics and genomics have had major impacts on fungal research. This Special Issue of the JoF is dedicated to exploring the frontiers of these aspects, highlighting the latest breakthroughs and innovative approaches in these dynamic fields. We aim to present a collection of research that delves into the molecular mechanisms of fungi, providing insights into their genetic makeup, metabolic pathways, and the regulation of these processes.

We encourage contributions from metabolomics- and genomics-related studies, and we welcome studies on transcriptomics and proteomics, as well as multi-omics interactions. Original research, reviews, and communications are all welcome. We are excited to showcase the innovative work of our contributors and hope this Special Issue will bring insights to the scientific community.

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. Journal of Fungi 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.
