Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past few decades, genetic engineering and biotechnology has been widely used in the field of plants to improve nutritional quality, increase production, improve genetic characteristics, carry out important trait gene screening, and reduce biological and abiotic stress; transgenic plants can even be used as a biological reactor, producing organic compounds, drug proteins, plant secondary metabolites, and so on. This Special Issue of Plants aims to analyze economic crop genomics and biotechnology research, focusing on research on the establishment of new plant expression systems, exploration of genetic transformation methods, gene cloning, the regularity of gene expression in plants, and important economic crop genetic engineering improvement and research achievements. We welcome all research articles and review articles covering the above subject to submit in this special issue.
