Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genomic selection enhances hybrid rice breeding by intensifying selection and expediting breeding cycles. Beyond genomic data, technological advancements produce diverse omic datasets including transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data. Integrating these omics datasets can deepen our understanding of the genetic and biochemical foundations of agronomic traits. Multi-omics data enable the prediction of expected breeding values (EBVs) for agronomic traits and facilitate the selection of superior hybrids. However, research indicates that the optimal combinations of multi-omics data for prediction vary depending on the trait and population under consideration. Consequently, it is essential to evaluate the prediction accuracy of different omics datasets within specific populations and for targeted traits in rice breeding endeavors.

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.
