Special Issue Information
Following the success of the first Special Issue “Emerging Topics in Tobacco Genomics (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/agronomy/special_issues/C83NE00447)” in Agronomy, the Editorial Office is pleased to launch a second edition of the issue.
As important model plants and economic crops, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum and related Nicotiana species) species have drawn a significant amount of attention in the field of plant biology. In recent years, several versions of tobacco genome sequences have become available and significant progress has been made in tobacco functional genomics.
This Special Issue aims to gather new information about the systems biology of tobacco, genes and molecular regulatory networks that regulate important traits, and new molecular tools developed based on tobacco, as well as cutting-edge research using tobacco as model systems.
Specifically, this Special Issue calls for original research, reviews, and mini review submissions on tobacco functional genomics, including, but not limited to, the following: tobacco omics and gene families; cloning and functional analysis of genes; analysis of tobacco mutants; characterization of plant genes using tobacco as model systems; synthetic biology involving tobacco; and new tools in molecular biology and biotechnology based on tobacco.

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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
