Molecular Genetics and Breeding of Oilseed Crops—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The yield potential, production, and quality of oilseed crops (e.g., rapeseed, groundnut, castor, soybean, and sunflower) are potential objectives for breeders worldwide; however, oilseed crop production still faces numerous challenges, including the impacts of biologic and abiological factors in addition to the demand for improved yield and nutritional quality.

For the present, molecular genetics and breeding mainly include many biotechnologies, such as QTL, GWAS, MAS, map-based cloning, and gene or genome editing, which have been widely studied and achieved significant progress in plant science. As such, we develop this Special Issue, which will provide a forum with which to address these problems and present new progress in oilseed crop research.

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.
