Big Data Mining in Plant Stress Resistance Evolution and Germplasm Innovation
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic welcomes the submission of interdisciplinary research at the intersection of AI, bioinformatics, big data mining, plant stress biology, evolutionary biology, and genetic breeding. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Development and optimization of AI, machine learning, and deep learning models, as well as advanced bioinformatics workflows, for the integration, mining, and functional interpretation of plant stress-related multi-omics data (including genomics, pan-genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell omics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics).
Big data-driven dissection of the adaptive evolution mechanisms of plant stress resistance, including natural selection signature analysis, domestication sweep identification, and evolutionary dynamics of stress-responsive gene families in model plants, crops, and forest trees.
Large-scale population genomics studies, including genome-wide association studies (GWASs), genomic selection, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping, and pan-genome mining of novel stress-resistant alleles from wild germplasm resources.
Functional validation and in-depth molecular mechanism characterization of key stress-related genes, non-coding RNAs, and regulatory networks identified via big data mining, in response to both abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, extreme temperature, heavy metal toxicity, waterlogging, etc.) and biotic stresses (pathogen infection, pest infestation, etc.).
Innovation and application of big data and AI-enabled precision breeding technologies, including genome design breeding, molecular marker-assisted selection, and genomic prediction, for the development of stress-resilient crop and forest tree germplasms.
Cross-species comparative genomics and evolutionary analysis of plant stress adaptation strategies across herbaceous and woody plant species.
Manuscripts that are purely descriptive, lack innovative algorithm development or in-depth mechanistic insights, and do not align with the core theme of this Topic will not be considered for peer review.

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.
