Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue of the journal Plants dedicated to Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics in Modern Plant Science. With an increasing number of available genome sequences across the plant kingdom, it has become imperative to unravel the genomic code and establish connections between functional sequences and phenotypes using bioinformatics methodologies. This Special Issue aims to offer a comprehensive overview of recent advancements and discoveries aimed at comprehending functional genomics within plants. We believe that this compilation of articles will make a significant contribution to the scientific community's comprehension of plant genetics and genomics, shedding light on its profound impacts on plant growth, development, and responses to environmental cues.
Dr. Mingquan Ding
Guest Editor
