Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, focusing on cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of plant breeding and resistance, specifically highlighting the revolutionary methodologies of phenomics, genomics, and gene editing.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, scientists, and experts from around the world to share their groundbreaking research, innovative methodologies, and insightful findings. This Special Issue will encompass a wide range of topics related to phenomics, genomics, and gene editing as applied in plant breeding and resistance.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Phenomic approaches for high-throughput plant phenotyping;
- Genomic tools and technologies for plant genome analysis and characterization;
- Gene editing techniques (CRISPR/Cas9, TALENs, etc.) and their applications in plant improvement and disease resistance;
- Molecular mechanisms underlying plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses;
- Genetic variation and diversity studies in crop species for improved resilience;
- Integrative omics approaches in elucidating plant–pathogen interactions;
- Computational modeling and artificial intelligence in phenomics and genomics 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. 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.
