Plant Proteomics and Molecular Breeding for Stress-Resistant Varieties

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Plant Proteomics and Molecular Breeding for Stress-Resistant Varieties”, will focus on research into plant proteomics and techniques and methods of plant molecular breeding for resistance to cold, heat, drought, salt, disease, and insects. Preference will be given to publications presenting results that provide significant new insights into biological problems and molecular breeding approaches for stress-resistant varieties of plants. We also welcome studies exploring the diversity of the plant proteome, which can help us better understand the genetic and biochemical foundations of plant protein diversity, strategies for analyzing proteomic diversity using mass spectrometry technology, and post-translational modification and subcellular localization. The establishment and exploration of molecular breeding methods are helpful in the application of molecular markers, gene editing, and transgenic techniques in crop breeding, as well as the rapid selection of high-stress-resistant varieties. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight discoveries of functions, mechanisms, and regulation in plant resistance to stress and molecular breeding technology and applications of plant stress resistance.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
