Development and Application of In Vitro Culture Techniques in Plants

Dear Colleagues,

The techniques developed within plant in vitro culture are diverse and depend on the purposes or objectives of each research, development, and innovation laboratory, mainly determined by the plant species they are working on or commercializing. This Special Issue gathers general information, illustrated with examples, with the purpose of orienting future research and development groups. This issue will compile methodologies for (1) micropropagation, (2) development and application of bioreactors, (2) sanitation or virus elimination, (3) adventitious regeneration, (4) somatic embryogenesis, (5) protoplast culture and somatic hybrids, (6) production of doubled haploid plants by androgenesis, gynogenesis, or parthenogenesis, (7) rescue of immature embryos or interspecific crosses, (8) cell suspensions as a source of metabolites and food, (9) bioassays for biotic and abiotic stress agents, (10) protocol improvement aimed at genetic transformation or for editing tools, (11) control of endophytes under in vitro culture, and (12) beneficial effects of microorganisms in plant in vitro culture.

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-anonymized 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.
