Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rice is an important staple crop in the world and also a model plant of monocotyledons. Identifying, mining and modifying the regulatory genes and their elite alleles of important agronomic traits, including plant type, yield, quality, resistance and nutrient efficiency,and exploring the corresponding molecular regulation mechanism, will be conducive to enriching the genetic regulation network and carrying out molecular design breeding. Especially in recent years, the gene editing technology has brought convenience to rice biological breeding and greatly reduced the cycle of rice variety improvement. This special issue of Plants will focus on the genetic analysis, physiological and biochemical, molecular assisted selection and biological breeding of important trait regulatory genes or alleles in rice.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
