Advance in Impact of Agro-Technological Measures on Quality of Grain

Dear Colleagues,

The questions of grain’s nutritional value and technological properties will always be relevant, but in the near future, they will become especially important in terms of reduced intensification and the transition to a sustainable cultivation technology. Grain quality is strongly affected by soil, agro-technologies, and environmental factors; it is also influenced by changes observed as a result of the warming climate, which is associated with changing meteorological conditions. The application of new-generation varieties, ancient subspecies, adapted agro-technologies, innovative technological processes, and the non-typical use of grain can be linked not only with higher quality but also with the use of a wide range of phytonutrients for health promotion and disease prevention as well as for fostering a healthy diet and using natural components. This Special Issue of the Plants journal will cover all the above aspects to highlight the peculiarities and challenges of grain composition, its quality, and its technological properties in various agro-technological measures. This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research articles, short communications, opinion papers, and review articles on the topic of the Impact of Agro-Technological Measures on Quality of Grain.
