Omics of Barley Development and Fertility

Dear Colleagues,

Technical and methodological advances have led to an explosion of large-scale omics datasets profiling biological molecules. In plants, these data have been used to examine normal and disturbed processes of development and the response to drought, temperature, and disease, among many others. In barley, several recent studies have provided insight into the transcriptomic and proteomic landscape of developing anthers in meiosis. These large-scale datasets provide an invaluable resource which can be interrogated for clues to the genetic and molecular mechanisms which underpin meiotic processes such as synapsis and recombination. This Special Issue—"Omics of Barley Anthers and Meiosis”—welcomes submissions which address the genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, metabolomic, or epigenomic landscape in barley during the development of anthers and meiosis.

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.
