Applications of Biotechnology in Food and Agriculture
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Topic “Applications of Biotechnology in Food and Agriculture” offers updated information on the study of agricultural crops and those with future application and agroindustrial importance under their proposed conditions (favorable environments and arid and/or desert areas). The contributions reflected in the work used as a premise result from physiological, biochemical, botanical, and biological perspectives, as well as interactions with the biotic and abiotic environment in which these develop. The results aim to guide the efficiency of soil, water, and environmental resources by relying on traditional and new biotechnological techniques. These findings aim to generate models of sustainable agri-food production systems that can be transferred or applied by professionals in agronomic sciences, biology, biochemistry, biochemistry, and biotechnology, as well as those who are in charge of areas, subjects, or production systems related to plant production. The results will exceed the strict propaedeutic level, attracting those interested in the most advanced contemporary research in functional plant biology. This Special Issue explains and demonstrates that plants within a plant functional biology system can be efficiently incorporated into the agri-food or reforestation sector. Understanding these processes opens a new perspective essential for students and professionals of modern agricultural sciences.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
