Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various high-throughput omics tools, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have accelerated the gene discovery process and facilitated subsequent improvements in breeding activities.
The multidisciplinary approaches integrating these technologies provide a holistic view for comprehensively and systematically deciphering the mechanisms of plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses, plant growth, and development.
This Special Issue provides a platform for discussion on this topic, and the papers in this collection are intended to highlight and further stimulate research on integrating multiple omics tools to get a better impression of rare genes and molecular signals that are associated with complex agronomic traits, such as plant and stress interactions.
Quantitative omics analyses (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) must be performed on a minimum number of three biological replicates in order to permit an assessment of significance. Studies that do not comply will not be considered for review.
Prof. Dr. Mingpu Tan
Guest Editor
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.
