Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant tissue culture and plant regeneration constitute crucial facets of plant biotechnology, spanning across several scientific and industrial domains. In recent years, we have witnessed significant advancements in the comprehension of the underlying mechanisms controlling in vitro plant regeneration, accompanied by the rapid evolution of specialized equipment and strategies for enhancing this process. This development has garnered the attention of both plant scientists and industries. Nonetheless, there exists an ongoing demand to further develop our strategies in order to select and regenerate superior genotypes, thereby refining protocols for enhanced reproducibility. In this context, a meticulous fine-tuning process is imperative. In light of these developments, we are excited to announce a Special Issue welcoming contributions covering all aspects of plant tissue culture and biotechnological processes, including the use of algorithms for improving protocols, aspects of somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis, cryopreservation, the use of temporary immersion bioreactors and new gene-editing technology enhancing shoot proliferation.
This Special Issue will accept original research articles, short-communications as well as comprehensive reviews.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
