Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant taxonomy and phylogenetics play a key role in understanding plant diversity and its evolution. In recent years, with the advancement of molecular biology techniques, researchers have been able to explore the genetic relationships and taxonomic status of plants in greater depth. These techniques allow researchers to not only analyze plant genomes, but also reveal the complexity of their phylogenetic trees, promoting a re-examination of the evolutionary history of plants.
Overall, the latest research progress in plant taxonomy and phylogenetics provides important theoretical support and practical guidance for revealing the evolutionary mechanisms of plants, promoting species conservation and ecosystem management.
The present topic on taxonomy and phylogeny of plants aims to create a representative and updated collection of research articles and reviews regarding the taxonomy and phylogeny of plants.

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.
