Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in plant genetics research are driven by cutting-edge technologies, innovative applications, and transformative methodologies. From next-generation sequencing and CRISPR-based genome editing to precision phenotyping and learning machine-driven analysis, these innovations have accelerated genetic discoveries and their translation into practical applications. Emerging technologies in computational biology, synthetic biology, and high-throughput screening are further revolutionizing plant genetics, enabling improved crop resilience, productivity, and adaptation to environmental challenges. This Special Issue highlights the latest technologies, applications, and innovations shaping the future of plant genetics research, with a focus on their impact on agriculture and sustainability.

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.
