Fungal Growth and Development Based on Functional Genomics and Microbiomics

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, titled "Fungal Growth and Development Based on Functional Genomics and Microbiomics", aims to explore the intricate mechanisms governing fungal growth and development, as well as their interactions with microbial communities, through cutting-edge genomic and microbiomic technologies. This Issue seeks to gather innovative research that elucidates the genetic mechanisms underpinning fungal development, growth patterns, and interactions within diverse microbial communities. By integrating functional genomics and microbiome analyses, we aim to uncover how environmental factors, host interactions, and microbial cohabitation influence fungal behavior and physiology. Contributions may include studies on gene expression profiling, metabolic pathways, symbiotic partnerships, and the role of environmental stresses in shaping fungal communities. The overarching goal is to advance our understanding of fungal biology and its ecological significance, providing insights that could lead to novel applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit their findings and contribute to this growing field of study.

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. 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.
