Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rice is the most valuable and widely consumed staple crop in the world. Rice research has become an integral part of modern scientific innovation. Complete genomic and genome-based sequencing datasets, along with numerous databases, form the backbone of current molecular research into rice. Modernistic molecular genetics and breeding methods are accelerating conventional genetic studies and breeding approaches and revolutionizing rice research. This Special Issue will cover a range of topics related to the molecular genetics, breeding, and multi-omics-based approaches that enable modern-day rice production. We welcome submissions of original research papers and reviews.
In this Special Issue, we will consider contributions to rice research that focus on the combination of molecular genetics and conventional breeding in rice improvement, molecular biological studies of rice resistance to abiotic stress, and the use of genomics, proteomics, and new multi-omics technologies in rice development.

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.
