Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of molecular mechanisms of plant stress response is important for agrobiotechnology applications. It is in the focus of modern sequencing and bioinformatics research. Sequencing and systems biology approaches offer a comprehensive view of plant growth from molecular to cellular, organ, and population levels. Sequencing and microscopy technologies make it possible to model protein–protein and gene regulatory interactions in plant cells, providing a basis for better crop production and sustainability. Plant–pathogen interaction studies complement network modeling in this area. Based on the high demand, we announce this Special Issue on molecular informatics for plant biotechnology, continuing journal Special Issues on medical genomics and bioinformatics based on sequencing data analysis.
In this Special Issue we collect works on the following topics: 1) gene expression regulation in plants; 2) plant genomics and bioinformatics; 3) miRNA and molecular mechanisms studies in plants; 4) plant systems biology and digital phenotyping; 5) sequencing of model organisms for agro- and biotechnology.

Manuscript Submission Information
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.
