Plant Tissue Culture IV
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant tissue culture generally refers to the in vitro culture of explants on artificial media under aseptic conditions. In vitro culture procedures include a selection of explants, disinfection, media preparation, maintenance of culture conditions, callus formation, organogenesis, and hardening. It is a vital method for studying plants' morphogenesis, cell signaling, physiology, and molecular biology. This technique has various applications, such as producing artificial seeds, hybrids, disease- and stress-resistant plants, genetic resource conservation, secondary metabolites, and genetically uniform plants. This Special Issue aims to cover research on clonal propagation, cryopreservation, embryogenesis, organogenesis, somaclonal variation, temporary immersion systems, transgenics, protoplast culture, hairy root culture, and secondary metabolites production.

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-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.
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.
