Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oil crop grown worldwide. The increasing number of completed genome sequences is a cornerstone that significantly enhances the capabilities within the field of functional genomics of peanut. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics within peanut genomics, including but not limited to gene discovery, functional characterization of genetic elements, genome-wide association studies (GWASs), transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenomics. We aim to highlight research that elucidates the genetic underpinnings of traits such as disease resistance, oil composition, yield, and stress responses. Additionally, studies that explore the application of novel genomic technologies and integrative genomics approaches to advance peanut breeding and cultivation are highly encouraged.
Through this Special Issue, we seek to compile a comprehensive collection of high-quality research articles, reviews, and potentially method papers that push the boundaries of our understanding and improve the genetic resources available for peanut improvement. We look forward to your contributions that will not only enrich our genetic knowledge but also pave the way for enhanced peanut varieties.

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.
