Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To sustain the effective ecological and economic functions of tree plants, the current molecular breeding paradigm calls for an enhanced breeding strategy to build resilience in economically and ecologically important trees. In recent years, many high-quality tree plant genomes have been published with advances in sequencing technology. This special issue aims to encourage research in tree plant genomics that is not limited to the phylogeny, the basis of ecological adaptations, and breeding analyses from a genomic perspective. We hope that these lines of research (e.g., gene expression, gene function, comparative genomics, etc.) will be sustained in order to address the new challenges that tree plants are facing in terms of evolution and applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
