Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The genetic mechanism of important agronomic traits of wheat is mainly controlled by multiple genes, and the expression of these genes is affected by various environmental factors. The improvement of important agronomic traits of wheat is achieved by combining traditional breeding methods with molecular biology technology, including transgenic technology, gene editing technology and marker-assisted selection technology. In recent years, with the development of molecular biology and genetics, more and more genes related to important agronomic traits of wheat have been cloned and identified. These genes provide important theoretical support for the improvement of wheat yield, quality and stress resistance. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the genetic mechanism and molecular improvement of important agronomic traits of wheat, which will help us better improve the yield, quality and stress resistance of wheat

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
