Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the cutting-edge field of "Data-Driven and AI Approaches to Plant Systems Biology and Adaptation". With the rapid advancement of multi-omics technologies and artificial intelligence, data-driven methods have become core tools for deciphering complex plant regulatory networks and exploring environmental adaptation mechanisms. We aim to collect interdisciplinary research findings covering areas such as AI-aided multi-omics data integration, plant phenotype prediction, stress resistance mechanism analysis, and smart breeding. This Special Issue will provide a communication platform to promote technological innovation and translational research in plant adaptation studies, facilitating the cultivation of climate-resilient crop varieties to address global agricultural challenges.
Prof. Dr. Ming Chen
Guest Editor
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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
