Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenetics plays a significant role in plant research and has revolutionized our understanding of how plants develop, respond to environmental cues, and evolve over time. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. Researchers continue to uncover the intricate mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation in plants, and this knowledge has the potential to enhance our ability to manipulate and manage plant species for agricultural. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research or review articles related to all aspect of epigenetics, including DNA methylation, RNA modification, histone modification, small RNAs, and environmental responses etc.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
