Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant genetic diversity plays an important role in maintaining plant ecosystem balance, ensuring the ecological security of forests, and promoting the development of the ecological economy. It is evident that, only by understanding plant genetic diversity and the genetic basis of complex traits, can people better take effective measures to protect and utilize them, so as to determine a sustainable development path.
Omics research is one such favorable technique often employed to study plant diversity. Through the analysis of a large number of biological data, one can study the overall characteristics of plant tissues or individuals, the interaction between them, and the biological mechanism implicated in the formation of certain traits.
This Special Issue will thus be subdivided into contributions focused on the role of omics, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, in the identification of key metabolic pathways, vital molecular mechanisms, and causative genes, proteins, metabolites, etc., during plant growth, development, and stress response. Existing problems, the development of trends in omics research on plant diversity conservation and utilization, the evaluation of plant population diversity, and the improvement of specific traits will be discussed.
Finally, we will give attention to the multi-omics integration analysis strategy; this can efficiently identify molecular patterns and genetic interactions, accurately construct the interrelationships and regulatory networks among various biomolecules, study complicated problems from both cause-and-effect levels, and verify their relevance.

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. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
