Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A wide variety of colorful plants make the earth more beautiful for us to live on, and are also an important basis for human survival. Differences in plant morphology are primarily due to genomic differences. Associations between morphological traits and genomes are particularly important for gene mining. With the continuous development of next generation sequencing technology, such as genome assembly and resequencing, plays an important role in interpreting morphological traits and gene mining. This Special Issue encourages authors to submit well-designed original research papers in all aspects of “Genomic Insights into Plant Morphological Traits”, such as genome assembly, pan-genome, molecular marker development, high-density genetic maps, QTL mapping, genome-wide association study, DNA methylation, and gene function analysis. Research on crops and horticultural crops across all types of morphological traits with genomic data is welcome.

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.
