Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cereal crops, which include grain, tuber, and legume crops, and are the most basic necessities for human survival, with great significance in safeguarding global food security. Increases in the yield and quality of these crops can be achieved by internal genetic improvement, but external cultivation approaches also play important regulation roles in crop growth and development. Cultivation regulation methods consist of modes of tillage, fertilization, irrigation, chemical control, and cultivation density. This Special Issue of Plants will mainly focus on the regulating effects of different cultivation approaches on agronomic traits, physiological properties, molecular change profiles, and yield and quality formation of cereal crops. Reviews and research papers are welcome.
