Plant Tissue Culture

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to invite submissions to our upcoming topical collection on plant tissue culture. This vital scientific technique involves cultivating plant cells, tissues, and organs on artificial media in controlled environments. By utilizing the totipotency of plant cells, researchers can regenerate entire plants or specific parts, fostering advancements in biochemistry, cytology, embryology, molecular biology, and physiology.

Significant progress has been made in plant tissue culture, particularly in areas such as germplasm conservation, genetic modification, somatic embryogenesis, and the production of disease-free plants. The incorporation of nanomaterials into this field has opened new avenues for genetic transformation, the establishment of sterile cultures, and the enhancement of morphogenetic potential in explants, as well as the production of bioactive compounds.

This innovative approach not only improves the efficiency of tissue culture techniques but also plays a crucial role in producing secondary metabolites that enhance plant quality and nutritional value. We look forward to your contributions to the investigation of this important subject.

We invite submissions that cover a wide range of topics. Discussions may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

- Micropropagation

- Organogenesis

- Somatic embryogenesis

- Sterilization methods

- Gene transformation

- Protoplast culture

- Virus-free plants

- Cryopreservation

- Conservation

- Cell suspension culture

- Hairy root culture

- Secondary metabolites

- Bioreactor

- Temporary immersion systems

- In vitro breeding

- Induced mutation

- Light quality

- Nanomaterials

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-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.
