Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the global awareness of environment and biodiversity at a historically unprecedented level and very active research momentum in phylogenetics, genomics and new species discovery, five MPDI journals, Diversity, Ecologies, IJPB, Plants, and JZBG, are launching a Topic in Plant Systematics and Taxonomy in 2022–2023, to promote research in this important field.

This Topic aims to collect high-quality research articles, short communications, and review articles in all fields of plant systematics and evolutionary biology: systematics, phylogenetics, phylogenomics, biosystematics, cytogenetics, taxonomy, morphology, evolutionary developmental biology, evolutionary genomics, chemical evolution, evolutionary ecology, paleobotany, and biogeography. The research subjects on the topic include plants, algae, fungi, and cyanobacteria.
