Transcriptome Analysis and Gene Regulation in Plant Growth Development, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Transcriptome sequencing has become more and more important for understanding biological phenomena, and provides vital insight for understanding gene regulatory mechanisms in the process of plant growth development. Therefore, it is a hot topic for many plant biologists, showing how to efficiently explore the information underlying transcriptome sequencing to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms of the phenomenon. In addition, an integrated multi-omics framework based on transcriptome analysis has provided insight into the gene regulatory mechanisms of plant growth development, especially in some non-model plants. The importance of new mathematical and statistical methods for transcriptome analysis will also help us to better understand the hidden secrets of plant growth and development. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the new tools, methods, strategies, and perspectives of transcriptome analysis, and their role in explaining gene regulatory networks.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 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.
